Cooktop Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to main-
taining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the fi rst 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 fi nish 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.
