CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to main-
taining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most
hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the
ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper
towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a pro-
tective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches
and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal mark-
ings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be
removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled
using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can be-
come 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.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the
bottom; always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface with-
out a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop; they may cause it to crack.

CAUTION
• Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be
sure all controls are turned off and the appli-
ance is cool.
• If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used,
they must be removed and the appliance must
be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow
manufacturer's instructions and provide ad-
equate ventilation.

Cooktop Cleaning
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The
glass surface could be hot from contact with hot
cookware, and burns may occur if the glass sur-
face is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
WARNING
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.
IMpORTANT
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur
if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only
use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use
a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop sur-
face. 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:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream di-
rectly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using
a non-abrasive cleaning tool, 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 metal
razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree
angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with
cooktop cleaning cream and buff the surface clean.
