Cooktop cleaning and
maintenance
Cleaning recommendations
for the ceramic glass cooktop
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time,
apply the recommended Cleaning Creme to the
ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme
is supplied with your cooktop and it is available in
most hardware stores. Clean and buff with a paper
towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help
prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on
the cooktop can cause metal markings on the
cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using
the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future
use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with
rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop
surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass
across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as
a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do
not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects
on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack or
break.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot
cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to
your health, and can chemically damage the
ceramic-glass surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme
directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel to clean
the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop
is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not
use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any
other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
First, clean the surface as described above. Then,
if soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal
razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree
angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with
cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
