40 Care and Cleaning
Cooktop maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining
your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the
cooktop cleaner supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a
non-abrasive cloth or non scratch cleaning pad. 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 or dirty
bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
•
Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace
with clean cookware before using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop cleaning
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 the ceramic glass cooktop cleaner directly
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive, no-
scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make
sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktop cleaner directly
to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive,
no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not
use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a razor blade scraper,
holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove
loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface
clean.
