Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance (Continued)
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some
nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to
clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or
lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Special Caution for Aluminum Use on the Ceramic
Cooktop:
•
Aluminum foil-
Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
•
Aluminum utensils
- The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil dry, not only will be utensil be destroyed, but it may
fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
