Halogen/Radiant Cooktop—G1ass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning
Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from
cleaning astandard porcelain finish. To maintain and
protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop
follow these basic steps.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it
with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps protect
the top and makes clean-up easier.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning
Creme on Glass Ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub afew drops (less is better) of Cook Top
Cleaning Creme onto soiled area using adamp
paper towel. Buff with adry paper towel until all
soil and creme are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves aprotective coating which is essential in
preventing scratches and abrasions.
2. Clean surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme
after each use.
For heavy, burned on soil:
1. Apply afew drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the (cool) soiled area.
2. Using adamp paper towel, rub creme into the
burned on area. As with any burned on spill, this
may require some effort.
3. Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold
scraper at a30° 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 adry paper towel.
NOTE:
Using arazor scraper will not damage the surface
if the 30° angle is maintained.
Be sure to use anew, sharp razor scraper.
Do not use adull or nicked blade.
Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.

GENERAL INFORMATION: As the Cook Top
Cleaning Creme cleans, it leaves aprotective coating
on the cooktop surface. This coating helps to prevent
build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will
make future cleaning easier.Dishwashing detergents
remove this protective coating and therefore make the
cooktop more susceptible to staining.
