Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to
clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads. The ports
(or slots) around the Burner Heads must be routinely checked.

gauge wire or needle to clean the slots or holes. For proper

30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An abrasive cleaner
can be used for stubborn stains.

CerAMIC GLASS COOKtOP CLeANING &
maintenance
consistent and proper cleaning is
essential to maintaining your ceramic
glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the
ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth
or 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 mark or scratch the cooktop surface. do
not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen. do not cook foods directly on the
cooktop surface without a pan. do not drop heavy or
hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.
