Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your cooktop must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Glass Ceramic Top
Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
Rub a few drops of ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
For heavy burned soil:
1.Apply a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area.
2.Using a damp paper towel, rub cream into burned on area.
3.Carefully scrape remaining soil with a razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30o angle against the ceramic surface.
4.If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.
5.Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to prevent buildup of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to staining.
Control Knobs
Make sure all the control knobs point to the OFF position before removing. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
stainless steel
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner when soapy water ill not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, abrasive cleaners or powders.
