Cleaning tips

What to use:

•Cooktop Polishing Creme (included with your range) with paper towel or clean, damp sponge –This creme has been developed especially for cleaning and protecting your cooktop. When using the creme, follow the instructions on the container.

•Razor scraper in a holder –Use to remove cooked-on soils from your ceramic glass cooktop. To avoid scratches, keep the razor blade as flat against the cooktop as pos- sible. Store razor blades out of reach of children.

Steps to follow:

1.Most spills can be wiped off easily using a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as soon as Hot Surface Indicator Light goes off.

2.For stubborn spills, rub Cooktop Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil using a paper towel. If some soil remains, leave some creme on the spot(s) and follow Step 3.

3.Carefully scrape spots with the razor scraper.

4.Finish by polishing entire cooktop with Cooktop Polishing Creme and a paper towel.

How to keep your cooktop looking like new:

IF THERE ARE	WHAT TO DO

Sugary spills	To prevent pitting on
and soils (such	the cooktop, wipe up
as jellies and	with a paper towel or
candy syrups)	clean, damp sponge

	glass surface is still
	warm. Remove spills
	as soon as possible
	after they occur.

Dark streaks,	Use the Cooktop
specks, and	Polishing Creme or a
discoloration	nonabrasive cleanser
	with a damp paper
	towel or sponge.

Metal marks	Use the Cooktop
(from copper and	Polishing Creme or a
aluminum pans)	gritty cleanser with a
	damp paper towel or
	sponge before
	heating the cooktop
	again. If heated
	before cleaning,
	metal marks may not
	come off.

Tiny scratches	Scratches and
