To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow
these instructions:
•
Sugar spills and soils (such as jellies and
candy syrups) can cause pitting on the
cooktop if not removed while the ceramic
surface is still warm. Remove as soon as
possible after the spill occurs.
•
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
•
Do not allow anything that may melt (such
as plastic or aluminum foil) to come in
contact with the surface while it is hot.
•
Do not use the ceramic cooktop to cook
popcorn that comes in prepackaged
aluminum containers. The container could
leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that
cannot be removed completely.
•
Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,
or glass cleaning products with ammonia.
These could damage the cooktop surface.
•
Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful with
heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans
above the cooktop.
Cleaning tips
What to use:
•
Cooktop Polishing Creme (included
with your range) with paper towel or
clean, damp sponge –This creme has
been developed especially for cleaning
and protecting your cooktop. When using,
follow instructions on container.
•
Razor scraper – Use to remove cooked-on
soils from your ceramic cooktop. To avoid
scratches, keep the razor blade as flat
against the cooktop as possible. Store
razor blades out of reach of children.
Steps to follow:
1.
Most spills can be wiped off easily using
a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as
soon as Hot Surface Indicator Light(s)
go off.
2.
For stubborn spills, rub Cooktop
Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil
using a paper towel. If some soil remains,
leave some creme on the spot(s) and
follow Step 3.
3.
Carefully scrape spots with the razor
scraper.
4.
Finish by polishing entire cooktop with
Cooktop Polishing Creme and a paper
towel.
Additional tips:
•
Remove dark streaks, specks, and
discoloration with Cooktop Polishing
Creme.
•
Remove metal marks (from copper or
aluminum pans) with Cooktop Polishing
Creme before heating the cooktop again.
If heated before cleaning, metal marks
may not come off.
•
Tiny scratches or abrasions do not
affect cooking. In time, these will become
less visible as a result of cleaning. To
prevent scratches and abrasions, use
Cooktop Polishing Creme regularly.
•
Nonabrasive cleanser with damp paper
towel or sponge can be used as an
alternative method for removing cooked-on
soils. Always rinse and dry your
cooktop thoroughly after using cleanser to
prevent streaking or staining.
