Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CaokTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic

surface (on the web visit www.sears.cam for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non- abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish 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 marl< or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Da not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do nat cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Da nat drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the

controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot

cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and

can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

For light ta moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a nan-abraslveplastic type no-scratchpad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned an sail:

Apply a few drops of CoakTopO Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a nan-abraslve plastic type no-scratchpad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Reappiy CookTop® Cleaning Creme and buff surface clean.

iMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktop.

Plastic or foods wlth a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage {such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface {as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
