Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cleaning Creme to the
ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme is supplied with your appliance and you
will find it in store. Clean and buff with a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when
soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the
glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop glass can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately
after the
cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent
if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the
cooktop surface.
Do not slide anything metal or glass
across the cooktop.
Do not
use
your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
Do not
cook foods directly on
the cooktop surface without a pan.
Do not
drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.

For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use
a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the
towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
First, clean the surface as described above. Then, if soils remain,
protect your hand with a potholder and carefully scrape soils with a
metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to
the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream
and buff surface clean.
