Allow the cooktop to cool.

Use a single-edge razor blade
scraper at approximately a 45°
angle against the glass surface 
and scrape the soil. It will be
necessary to apply pressure to 
the razor scraper in order to
remove the residue.

After scraping with the razor 
scraper, spread a few drops of
ceramic cooktop cleaner on the
entire burned residue area. Use the

cleaning pad to remove any
remaining residue.

For additional protection, 
after all residue has been
removed, polish the entire
surface with ceramic cooktop
cleaner and a paper towel.

Control Lock Pad

As a convenience, you can lock the
entire cooktop at any time when it is
not in use or before cleaning.

Locking the cooktop will prevent
surface elements from being turned
on accidentally.

Begin by locking the cooktop; see 
the 

How to Lock the Cooktop

section.

Use the same cleaning methods 
as those described for the 
glass-ceramic top.

Burned-On Residue

WARNING: 

DAMAGE to your glass surface

may occur if you use scrub pads other than the
pad included with your cooktop.

Allow the cooktop to cool.

Spread a few drops of ceramic
cooktop cleaner on the entire
burned residue area.

Using the included cleaning pad
for ceramic cooktops, rub the
residue area, applying pressure 
as needed.

If any residue remains, repeat the
steps listed above as needed.

For additional protection, after all
residue has been removed, polish
the entire surface with ceramic
cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

The ceramic cooktop scraper 
and all recommended supplies are
available through our Parts Center.
See instructions under “To Order
Parts” section on next page.

NOTE: 

Do not use a dull or 

nicked blade.

Heavy, Burned-On Residue

Use a cleaning pad for ceramic
cooktops.

Normal Daily Use Cleaning

ONLY 

use ceramic cooktop cleaner on

the glass cooktop. Other creams may not
be as effective.

To maintain and protect the surface of
your glass cooktop, follow these steps:

Before using the cooktop for 
the first time, clean it with ceramic
cooktop cleaner. This helps protect
the top and makes cleanup easier.

Daily use of ceramic cooktop
cleaner will help keep the cooktop
looking new.

Shake the cleaning cream well.
Apply a few drops of ceramic
cooktop cleaner directly to the
cooktop.

Use a paper towel or cleaning pad
for ceramic cooktops to clean the
entire cooktop surface.

Use a dry cloth or paper towel 
to remove all cleaning residue.
No need to rinse.

NOTE: 

It is very important that you DO NOT

heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned
thoroughly.

Clean your cooktop after
each spill. Use ceramic
cooktop cleaner.
