COOKTOP CARE
GeneralCleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
CERAMIC GLASS
Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.
Cleaning Method:
Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to avoid streaking and staining.
Cooktop Cleaner is recommended for regular use to help avoid scratches, pitting and abrasions, and to condition the cooktop. It may be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor blades out of the reach of children.
