Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cleaning
Creme to the ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme is supplied with
your cooktop and it is available in most hardware stores. Clean and buff with
a paper towel. 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 immedi-
ately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal
marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across
the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the

purpose.

First, clean the surface as described above. Then, 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 surface clean.
