CET/CEP Cooktop Care and Use Manual Cooktop Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Guide
AVOID THESE CLEANERS
• GLASS CLEANERS which contain ammonia
or chlorine bleach. These ingredients may
permanently etch or stain the cooktop.
• CAUSTIC CLEANERS
Oven cleaners such as Easy Off ® may etch the
cooktop surface.
• ABRASIVE CLEANERS
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as
Scotch Brite
® can scratch and / or leave metal marks.
Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS ® can
scratch the surface.
Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach
can permanently stain the cooktop.
Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or
WD-40.
RECOMMENDED CLEANERS
• Cooktop Cleaning Crème ® (packaged with
cooktop) – This removes soil and provides a
protective film that makes it easy to remove water
spots or food spatters. The temperature of the
cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of
this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each
use to prevent spatter and small food particles from
baking on the surface.
Use only a small amount; apply to a clean
paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel. Use on a DAILY
basis.
• BonAmi ® : rinse and dry.
• Soft Scrub ® (without bleach): rinse and dry.
• Vinegar: rinse and dry.
• Razor blade scraper (packaged with cooktop)
* The recommended cleaners indicate a type of
cleaner and do not constitute an endorsement.
Use Daily
BEFORE USE CARE
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For
example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning
Creme
® on a daily basis.
This provides a protective film that makes it easy to
remove water spots or food spatters.
Use a clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme ®
before each use to remove dust or metal marks that
can occur on the counterlevel surface between uses.
The temperature of the cooking surface during use
reduces the protective qualities of the Cleaning Creme®,
so it must be re-applied regularly to maintain the
appearance of the cooktop.
2. Remove these soils IMMEDIATELY with the
razor blade scraper:
Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup, Tomato Products, Milk
3. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge
or paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use vinegar if
smudge remains; rinse.
DAILY CLEANING TECHNIQUES
1. Clean the surface when it is completely cool
with the following exception.
4. Apply a small amount of the Cooktop
Cleaning Crème ® . When dry, buff surface with
a clean paper towel or cloth.

CAUTION:
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the
surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The
resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health.
Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage
the surface.
