Care and Cleaning - the Cooktop

CAUTION

Do not use any cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heated cleaner can chemically attack and damage surface.

Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface

•Regular, daily care using the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.

•The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.

•Never cook food directly on the glass.

•Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on glass surface.

•Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.

•Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it may scratch the glass.

•Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

Before Use Care

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small

 

amount of glass ceramic cooktop cleaner (packaged with range) on a daily basis.

 

This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food

 

spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities

 

of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply

 

glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before each use to remove dust or metal marks

 

that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.

Daily Cleaning Techniques

1. Clean the surface when completely cool with the glass ceramic cooktop

 

cleaner.

 

Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk imme-

 

diately with the razor blade scraper (See Cooktop Care Chart, next page).

 

2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Rinse and dry.

 

Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.

 

3. Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. When dry, buff

 

surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

Using the Razor Blade Scraper

Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Hold the scraper at a 30°

 

angle. Move it over the soil to lift it off of the cooktop. Finish with a clean, damp

 

sponge or paper towel. Apply white vinegar if smudge remains and rinse.
