SURFACE CLEANING
Glass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning
Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop follow these basic steps.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning Creme on Glass Ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1.Rub a few drops (less is better) of Cook Top Cleaning Creme onto the soiled area using a damp paper towel. Wipe until all soil and creme are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
2.Clean the surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme after each use.
For heavy, burned on soil:
1.Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme to the (cool) soiled area.
2.Using a damp paper towel, rub creme into the burned on area. As with any burned on spill, this may require some effort.
3.Carefully scrape remaining soil with the razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.
4.If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook Top Cleaning Creme.
5.Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:
•Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface if the 30° angle is maintained.
•Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
•Store the razor blade out of reach of children.
Special Care:
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully and remove the soil while the spill is still hot.
1.Turn off all the surface units affected by the spillover. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop and scrape the hot spill to a cool area outside the surface unit.
3.With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.

PRECAUTIONS
•Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and abrasives which can damage the surface of your cooktop. Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme for proper cleaning and protection of your glass ceramic surface.
•If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal markings which appear as scratches. If this should happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to remove these markings. Failure to remove these residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
•Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength white vinegar.

•If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black discoloration. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.
•Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will remove this discoloration.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.
