Cleaning the glass cooktop.
Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time. Also, clean
the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass,
let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean.
Use a mild detergent if needed.
Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.
Normal Cleaning
Use only a recommended cleaning cream,
such as Cerama Brite or another cooktop
cleaning cream, on the glass cooktop.
To maintain and protect the surface of
your new glass cooktop follow these steps.
Before you use the cooktop for the
first time, clean it with cleaning
cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.
Clean the surface with the cleaning
cream after each use.
Rub a few drops (less is better) of the
cleaning cream onto soiled area
using a damp paper towel. Buff with
a dry paper towel until all soil and
cream are removed.
For Heavy, Burned-On Soil…
Allow the cooktop to cool.
Apply a few drops of the cleaning
cream to the (cool) soiled area.
Using a damp paper towel, rub the
cream into the burned-on area. As
with any burned-on spill, this may
require some effort.
Carefully scrape soil with razor
scraper. Hold scraper at a 30° angle
against the glass cooktop.
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not
use a dull or nicked blade.
If any soil remains, repeat the steps
listed above. For additional
protection, after all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface
with the cleaning cream.
Buff with a dry paper towel.

Special Care
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not
use a dull or nicked blade.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge,
candy syrups) or melted plastics can
cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop (not covered by the warranty)
unless the spill is removed while still hot.
Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
Turn off all surface units affected by
the spillover. Remove hot pans.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor
scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop.
Scrape the hot spill to a cool area
outside the surface unit.
With the spill in a cool area, use a dry
paper towel to remove any excess.
Any spillover remaining should be
left until the surface of the cooktop
has cooled. Do not continue to use
the soiled surface unit until all of the
spillover has been removed. Follow
the steps under
Heavy Burned-On Soil
to continue the cleaning process.
NOTE:
If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum,
copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the
overlay may bond with the glass cooktop and
leave a black discoloration. This should be
removed immediately before heating again
or the discoloration may be permanent.
Using a razor scraper will not
damage the surface if the 30° angle
is maintained.
