Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the Cooktop
The cooking surface and control areas of
your ceramic glass cooktop are identified by
permanent patterns in the cooktop. The
appliance is easy to maintain and clean.
Keep the cooktop in top performance by
following these simple guidelines for use
and cleaning.
Clean the cooktop before you use it for the
first time. A thorough cleaning with a
recommended cooktop cleaner (
Cerama
Bryte Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner
). A sample
is included with your Kenyon cooktop.
Always remove food spills, grease spatters
and metal rub-off from cookware. A razor blade
scraper or the equivalent works well to remove
spillovers.
When the cooktop is cool, clean it with a paper
towel or a clean, soft cloth and

. After cleaning,
always wipe the cooktop with a clean, damp
cloth to avoid cooked-on cleaner residue, then
wipe the cooktop dry.
Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the
cooktop. A film may be left by the detergent and
may cause discoloration of the cooktop surface.
Avoid abrasive scouring cleaners of any kind.
Also avoid using plastic, nylon or metal cleaning
pads. They may scratch or melt onto the
cooktop.
Avoid chemical cleaners such as chlorine
bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or
chemical oven cleaners. They can etch or
discolor the surface.
Do not let anything that melts - plastic,
aluminum foil, sugar, etc. come into contact
with the cooktop surface when it is hot. Should
something melt onto the surface, immediately
move it to a cool area of the cooktop with a
razor blade scraper and then remove it from
the cooktop as soon as possible. If they are
allowed to harden the cooktop may become
pitted.
Use Good Quality
Cookware
Since cookware plays an important role in
cooking efficiency and convenience, keep in
mind the following information when selecting
your cookware.
Induction cooking only works with cookware
made of
ferrous metals - metals to which
magnets will stick such as cast iron and
magnetic stainless steel
, and will not work
with aluminum or other metals. To test your
cookware for induction cooking simply place
your Kenyon magnet on the bottom of the pot
or pan and see if it sticks. If the magnet does
not stick to your cookware, it will not work.
Use cookware of the correct diameter only.
The base of the pot or pan should be about
as wide as the cooking zone on which it is
used – not much wider or much narrower. By
using cookware with the correct diameter, you
should achieve maximum heating efficiency
with the shortest possible boiling times.
Be certain that both the cooktop panel and
the bottom of your pots and pans are clean
and dry before use. By doing so, you will help
prevent scratches and stains.
