PART PROCEDURE
Cooktop – Never use oven cleaners, chlorine bleach, ammonia or glass cleaners with ammonia.
Glass-Ceramic Important: Call an authorized servicer if the glass-ceramic top should crack, break or if metal
or aluminum foil should melt on the cooktop.
• Allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.
• General --Clean cooktop after each use, or when needed, with a damp paper towel and Cooktop
Cleaning Creme* (Part No. 20000001)**. Then buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Important: Permanent stains will develop if soil is allowed to cook on by repeatedly using the cooktop
when soiled.
• Heavy Soils or Metal Marks -- Dampen a “scratchless” or “never scratch” scrubber sponge. Apply
Cooktop Cleaning Creme* and scrub to remove as much soil as possible. Apply a thin layer of the
creme over the soil, cover with a damp paper towel and let stand 30 to 45 minutes (2-3 hours for very
heavy soil). Keep moist by covering the paper towel with plastic wrap. Scrub again, then buff with a
clean, dry cloth.
Important: Only use a CLEAN, DAMP “scratchless” pad that is safe for non-stick cookware. The pattern
and glass will be damaged if the pad is not damp, if the pad is soiled, or if another type of pad is used.
• Burned-On or Crusty Soils -- Scrub with a “scratchless” or “never scratch” scouring pad and
Cooktop Cleaning Creme*.
Important: Hold a razor blade scraper at 30° angle and scrape any remaining soil. Then
clean as described above. Do not use the razor blade for daily cleaning as it may wear the
pattern on the glass.
• Melted Sugar or Plastic -- Immediately turn element to LOW and scrape sugar
or plastic from hot surface to a cool area. Then turn element OFF and allow to
cool. Clean residue with razor blade scraper and Cooktop Cleaning Creme*.
