General
– Clean cooktop after each use, or when needed,
with a damp paper towel and Cooktop Cleaning
Creme* (Part No. 20000001)**. Then, buff with a clean, dry

Heavy Soils or Metal Marks
– Dampen a “scratchless” or
“never scratch” scrubber sponge. Apply Cooktop Cleaning

covering the paper towel with plastic wrap. Scrub again,
then buff with a clean dry cloth.

is safe for non-stick cookware. The pattern and glass will be
damaged if the pad is not damp, if the pad is soiled, or if
another type of pad is used.
