CARE & CLEANING
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap fi lled scouring pad with warm water or cover
heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and
ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended
cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently
using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a
dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent
cleaning with the cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective coating which helps in preventing scratches
and abrasions.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface.
Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the
cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps
below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans
immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot
spills away from the element area with a clean damp
cloth.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above
for heavy, burned-on soil.
COOKTOP CLEANING / POLISHING CREAM can be
purchased through authorized service centers or major
department stores.
Ceramic glass cooktop cleaning & maintenance (Models B & C only)
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the
fi rst time, apply the recommended
CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme
to the ceramic surface. Clean and
buff with a non abrasive cloth or
pad. This will make cleaning easier
when soiled from cooking. The
special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective fi nish on the
glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions.
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, or they may crack it.
