 Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning

Cleaning 

 glass ceramic 

 is different from

cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To 

maintain and

protect 

 surface 

of your new glass ceramic cooktop

 these basic steps.

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it

with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps protect
the top and makes clean-up easier.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning
Creme on 

 Ceramic.

For normal, light soil:

1. 

Rub a few drops (less is better) 

 Cook Top

Cleaning 

 onto the soiled area using   damp

paper towel. Wipe until all soil and creme 
removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective
coating which is essential in preventing scratches
and abrasions.
Clean the surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme
after each use.

For heavy, burned on soil:

1. Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme

to the (cool) soiled area.

2. Using a damp paper towel, rub creme into the

burned on area. As with any burned on spill,
this may require some effort.

. Carefully scrape remaining soil with the razor

scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the
ceramic surface.

4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.

For additional protection, after 

 soil has been

removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook
Top Cleaning Creme.

5. Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:

● 

Using   razor scraper will not damage the surface

if the 30° angle is maintained.

● 

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.

Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

● 

Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.

PRECAUTIONS

● 

Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and

abrasives which can damage the surface of your
cooktop. 

Use 

only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme

for proper cleaning and protection of your glass
ceramic surface.

● 

If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across

the surface of your cooktop, they may leave  metal
markings which appear as scratches.  
If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.

● 

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using

Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength white vinegar.

Special Care:
Sugary spillovers  
(such as jellies, fudge, candy
syrups) or  melted plastics  can cause pitting of the
surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty)
unless the spill is removed while still hot.  Special
care should be taken when removing hot

substances.  Follow these instructions carefully and
remove the soil while the spill is 

 hot.

1. Turn off all the surface units affected by the

spillover. Remove hot pans.

 Wearing 

 

 mitt, hold the razor 

  

scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop 

 

and scrape the hot spill to a cool area 

,- 

outside the surface unit.

3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to

remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should
be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit 

 

of the spillover has been removed. Follow 

 steps

under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.

General Information:
As the Cook Top Cleaning Creme cleans, it
leaves a protective coating on the cooktop surface.

This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral
deposits (water spots) and 

 make future cleaning

easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective
coating and therefore make the cooktop more
susceptible to staining.

● 

 pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper

or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may
bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black
discoloration. This should be removed immediately
before heating again or the discoloration may
be permanent.

● 

Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent

film on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme
will remove this discoloration.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.
