Glass cooktop
To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.
Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and scouring pads— they may scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.
CAUTION: DO NOT COOK ON OR CLEAN
A BROKEN OR CRACKED COOKTOP. Cleaning solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service technician immediately.
