NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).
Cleaning Materials for Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Some cleaning materials may contain an ingredient which can damage the cooktop. Use recommended materials only (see below). Cleaner cream should be used regularly. Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a cleaner cream to the ceramic surface. A sample of CERAMA BRYTE® cleaner cream is supplied with your range. More are available in stores if needed.
Use only recommended cleaning products and follow these basic cleaning suggestions.
1.BEFORE THE COOKTOP IS USED. Thoroughly clean and saturate the cooktop with cleaner cream.

3.Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry.
4.Select heat settings and cookware large enough for food and liquid. This stops boilovers and spatterings.
5.Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn into surface.
IMPORTANT Regularly use cleaner cream. If you run out of cleaner cream, use one of the clean- ers listed. Be sure to get a new supply of cleaner cream.
