Cooktop maintenance

IMPORTANT

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop. Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for cooktops.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasivecloth 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 leave metal markings on the 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 or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

To maintain the cooktop appearance :

•Never slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop surface.

•DO NOT use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottoms. Replace with clean flat bottom cookware before using on the cooktop.

•Never use the ceramic cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.

•Never cook foods directly on the cooktop surface.

•DO NOT drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, this may cause it to crack.

CARE & CLEANING

Cooktop cleaning

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

To avoid possible burns, be sure the surface controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is cool before cleaning the cooktop.

For light to moderate soil- Apply a few drops of glass- ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive 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 glass- ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive 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°

Removing 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.
