Care and cleaning of the glass cooktop
Normal daily use cleaning
Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective.
By following these steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of your glass
cooktop.
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. Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the
cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire
cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.
WARNING
DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those
recommended.
Removing burned-on residue
1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop
cleaner on the entire burned residue
area.
3. Using a cleaning pad for ceramic
cooktops, rub the residue area, applying
pressure as needed.
4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps
listed above as needed.
5. For additional protection, after all residue
has been removed, polish the entire
surface by applying ceramic cooktop
cleaner with a paper towel.
Removing heavy, burned-on residue
Removing metal marks and scratches
1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave marks on
the cooktop surface. You can remove these marks by applying ceramic cooktop
cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the
overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. You should remove this
discoloration immediately or it may become permanent.
WARNING
Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop.
1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Use a single-edge razor-blade scraper
at approximately a 45° angle against
the glass surface and scrape the soil. It
will be necessary to apply pressure to
remove the residue.
3. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread
a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner
on the entire burned residue area. Use a
cleaning pad to remove any remaining
residue. (Do not scrape the seal.)
4. For additional protection, after all residue
has been removed, polish the entire
surface by applying ceramic cooktop
cleaner with a paper towel.
