U sing Your Cooktop

Ceramic glass surface (Models KGCC505H, KGCC566H)

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. However, you need to maintain your ceramic glass surface differently than you would standard porcelain or glass surfaces. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off. You should keep the surface dust free and soil free before heating.

The surface has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and easier cleaning. The Cooktop Polishing Creme included with your cooktop, paper towels or a sponge, and a single- edge razor blade in the holder are all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review “Cleaning tips” later in this section.

Follow them each time you use your cooktop. This will ensure you get the best performance out of your cooktop, as well as preserve that uniquely elegant look.

NOTE: Let the surface cool before cleaning.

To avoid damaging the surface, follow these instructions:

•Remove sugar spills and soils from the cooktop while the surface is still warm to avoid pitting on the surface.

•Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products with ammonia. These could damage the cooktop surface.
