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.
