Normal daily use cleaning
Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other cleaners may not be as effective. By following these steps, you can maintain and
protect the surface of the glass cooktop.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes
cleanup easier.
1
Shake the cooktop cleaner well, then apply a few drops of cleaner directly on the cooktop.
2
Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
3
Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. You do not need to rinse.
Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastics
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, and syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the cooktop surface. This
is not covered under the warranty.
You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when removing hot substances.
When using a scraper, make sure that it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
1
Turn off all surface burners. Remove hot pans.
2
Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge, razor-blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area of the cooktop. Remove
the spill with paper towels.
3
Wait until the cooktop has cooled, then remove any remaining spillover.
Don’t use the surface burners again until all of the residue has been completely removed.
Removing burned-on residue
1
Make sure that all surface burners are turned off, then let the cooktop cool.
2
Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3
Using a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area. Apply pressure as needed.
4
If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.
5
For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with a ceramic cooktop cleaner
and a paper towel.
Removing heavy, burned-on residue
1
Make sure that all surface burners are turned off, then let the cooktop cool.
2
Use a single-edge, razor-blade scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue.
You need to apply pressure to remove the residue. Do not scrape the seal.
3
After scraping with the scraper, spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Use
the cleaning pad to remove any remaining residue.
4
For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with a ceramic cooktop cleaner
and a paper towel.
Cleaning the cooktop seal
• Lay a wet cloth on the seal for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a nonabrasive cleaner.
Note:
Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner helps keep the cooktop looking new.
Note:
If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, they can’t be repaired.The cooktop glass will have to be
replaced.
