The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and
can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
CaUTiOn
B
efore 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 surface
is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned off and the range is
cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
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 surface. 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 directly
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.

Figure 26: Cooktop cleaning
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content need be
removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such
as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not
removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements off, use a razor blade scraper or a metal
spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot
surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool,
and use the same method for heavy or burned on
soils.
do not use the following on the cooktop:
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,
such as metal and some nylon pads. They may
scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to
clean.
•
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine
bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may
etch or discolor the cooktop.
•
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels,
as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop
which can burn and cause discoloration.
