Care and Cleaning
Self Help

®

cooktop surface.
• Abrasive Cleaners
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as
Scotch Brite
®
can scratch and/ or leave metal marks.
Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS
®

scratch the surface.
Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach
can permanently stain the cooktop.
Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.
Before Use Care
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For
example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning
Creme (packaged with range) on a daily basis. This
provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove
water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the
cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this
cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a
clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme before
each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur
on the counter level surface between uses.
Daily Cleaning Techniques
1.
Clean the surface when it is completely cool with
the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Exception: Remove Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup,
Tomato Products and Milk immediately with the
razor blade scraper (See Care and Cleaning Chart,
next page).
2.
Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or
paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if
smudge remains; rinse.
3.
Apply a small amount of the Cooktop Cleaning
Creme. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper
towel or cloth.
Cleaning the magTron Dial
Remove from cooktop. Wipe with hot, soapy cloth, rinse
and dry. Do not soak or wash in dishwasher.
CAUTION
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass
while the surface is hot; use only the razor
blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be
hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner
can chemically attack and damage the surface.
Using the Razor Blade Scraper
Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Hold
the scraper at a 30° angle. Move it over the soil to lift it off
of the cooktop. Finish with a clean, damp sponge or
paper towel. Apply vinegar if smudge remains and rinse.
