Care and Cleaning - Cooktop
Cooktop Care Chart
TYPE OF SOIL
Failure to remove these soils immediately can
permanently damage the surface.
• Remove pan and turn off the element.
• Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30 o angle, using
care not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the
heated area.
• After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and
apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
• Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top
of soil for about 30 minutes.
• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning Creme or
use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.
• Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse
thoroughly and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
• Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may
leave marks. Treat immediately, after surface has cooled,
with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme. If this does not remove
the metal marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami ® , Soft
Scrub ® without bleach) with a dampened paper towel.
Rinse and reapply creme.
Failure to remove metal marks before the next
heating makes removal very difficult.
• The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the
surface and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar,
rinse and dry. Recondition with Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Remove boilovers and stains, before using the
cooktop again.
• Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove sand-like
grains and grit such as salt and seasoning.
• Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth,
clean, and dry before use. Use Cooktop Cleaning Creme
daily on the cooktop.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted
plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Remove only these types of
spills while the surface is hot using the razor blade
scraper.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your scraper.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
Greasy spatters
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Hard water spots
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Surface scratches
Small scratches are to be expected on the glass surface, but
do not affect cooking. In time, small scratches will become
smoother and much less noticeable with daily use of the
Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
