Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your rangetop must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Glass Ceramic Top
Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard
porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass
ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
Rub a few drops of ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled
area using a damp paper towel. Wipe until all soil and cream
are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating
which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
For heavy burned soil:
1. Apply a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool
soiled area.
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub cream into burned on area.
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a razor scraper. Hold the
scraper at a 30o angle against the ceramic surface.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional
protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface
with the cleaning cream.
5. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves
a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to
prevent buildup of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make
future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this
protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more
susceptible to staining.
