Care & Cleaning

Cooktop maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cooktop Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www.KitchenAid.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 31464). Buff with a nonabrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become 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 bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.

•Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.

•Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

•Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Cooktop cleaning

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL. The glass surface could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of Cooktop Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a nonabrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of Cooktop Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a nonabrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, 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 surface clean.

30°

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils 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.
