Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see the Glass Cooktop Cleaning section.

When the cooktop is cool, use only CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

To avoid possible damage, do not apply the cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.

After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all the cleaning cream residue.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

Do not operate the glass cooktop if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.

Do not stand on the glass cooktop.

Do not touch glass surface while cooking. This surface may be hot enough to burn. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the cooktop.

Hot surfaces may include both the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.

Large scratches or impacts to glass cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.

To minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and the entire glass surface is cool before attempting to clean the cooktop.

Do not place or store items on top of the glass cooktop surface even when it is not in use.

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
