Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & 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 (visit www.sears.com for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge. 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 cookware on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface (See Fig. 24). 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 with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for Ceramic Glass Cooktop	Fig. 24

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

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.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

First, clean the surface as described above. Then, 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.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.

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 (See Fig. 25). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the ceramic cooktop (See Fig. 26):

• 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.
