Cleaning the Cooktop

9CAUTION

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

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.

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.

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

Cleaning the Control Knobs

2.To replace, push knob straight onto shaft.

•Caustic Cleaners

•Oven cleaners such as Easy Off® may etch the cooktop surface.

•Abrasive Cleaners

•Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
