IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
CERAMIC GLASS
To avoid damage to ceramic glass, do not use steel wool,
abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or
ammonia.
Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly
to avoid streaking and staining.
Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended for regular use to help
avoid scratches, pitting and abrasions, and to condition the
cooktop. It may be ordered as an accessory. See "Assistance or
Service" to order.
A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and
can be ordered as an accessory. See "Assistance or Service" to
order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor
blades out of the reach of children.
