Care and Cleaning
Make sure that the electrical power is off and all
surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the
cooktop.
Cleaning the Cooktop
Normal Daily Use Cleaning
CAUTION
• If any sugar or food containing sugar spills, or
plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the
material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor
scraper while the cooking surface is still hot to
avoid the risk of damage to the glass-ceramic
surface. When used correctly, the scraper will
not damage the cooktop surface. For your
safety, please use an oven mitt or pot holder
while scraping the hot cooking surface.
• If water or food containing water spills, remove
the spill IMMEDIATELY with a dry paper towel.
• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning pads.
They may damage your cooktop surface.
• For your safety, wear an oven mitt or pot holder
while cleaning the hot cooking surface.
Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop.
Other creams may not be as effective or may
scratch, damage or stain the cooktop surface.
To maintain and protect the surface of the glass
cooktop, follow these steps:
1
Before using the cooktop for the first time,
clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This
helps protect the top and makes cleanup
easier.
2
Use ceramic cooktop cleaner regularly to help
keep the cooktop looking new. Always allow
the cooktop to cool before using ceramic
cooktop cleaner.
3
Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few
drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4
Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop
surface.
5
Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or
paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.
NOTE
• Any damage or failure of the product resulting
from the items below may not be covered under
the LIMITED WARRANTY.
- Sugary spillovers (such as preserves, ketchup,
tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, or
chocolate) or melted plastics can cause pitting
on the surface of your cooktop.
- If food or water containing calcium (such as
baking powder, wine, milk, spinach, or
broccoli) is spilled on the cooktop, it can
permanently stain or discolor the surface.
Burned-On Residue
1
While the cooktop is still warm, remove any
burnt on deposits or spilled food from the
glass-ceramic cooking surface with a suitable
metal razor scraper. To prevent burns, wear
an oven mitt or pot holder while using the
metal scraper.
NOTE
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
• Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to
the cooktop.
• The razor scraper will not damage the markings
on the cooking surface.
2
When the cooking surface has completely
cooled, apply a few fingertip-sized dabs of a
glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner in each
cooking zone area. Work the cleaning cream
over the cooktop surface with a damp paper
towel. Leave the cleaner on for 10 minutes
before rinsing it off.
