Care & Cleaning

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance (Some models)

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

1)Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.

2)Aluminum utensils

The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.

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. 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 glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

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.

Things to Remember

1. AVOID using bleach and don’t use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.

2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

3. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop.

4. If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call your authorized service technician immedi- ately.

5. Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by such items.

6. Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.

a)Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

b)Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.
