COOKTOP CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
CERAMIC GLASS
Cleaning Method:
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive
powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia.
■
For best results, turn on key lock option to prevent the control
panel from turning on while cleaning.
1.
Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.
■
For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the
cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the
warm cooktop.
■
Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle
against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will
be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the
residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to
Step 2.
2.
Apply a few dime-sized drops of affresh
®
Cooktop Cleaner to
the affected areas.
■
Rub affresh
®
Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface
with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is
needed to remove stubborn stains.
■
Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding
to Step 3.
3.
Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
■
Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or
burned-on stains.
