To Prevent Stains

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the

cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains
on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in

a permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damage

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content

to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (See Cleaning, page 20.)

Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and

pan.

Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does

this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning
onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or

uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or
oversized canners and griddles.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto

the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an
authorized Maytag Servicer.

Cleaning

(see page 20 for more information)

• Before first use, clean the cooktop.

• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep

your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the

spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a
clean dry towel.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the

cooktop trim for a long period of time.

Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.

Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not

specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See
Cleaning, page 20.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before

turning on to prevent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top,

do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe
the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel
before using.

Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since

these may scratch.
