Your cooktop is designed for easy care. However,
you need to maintain your ceramic glass cooktop
differently than you would standard electric open-
coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop
will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because
of this, you should keep the surface dust free and
soil free before heating.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory
for improved protection
and easier cleaning.
The Cooktop Polish-
ing Creme included
with your range,
a soft cloth or a
sponge, and a single-
edge razor blade in a
holder (see next page
for ordering information)
are all you need
to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning meth-
ods, please review “Cleaning tips” in the next
column and on the next page. Follow them after
each time you use your cooktop. This will ensure
you get the best performance out of your cooktop,
as well as preserve that uniquely elegant look.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these
instructions:
• Remove sugar spills and soils from the cooktop
while the surface is still warm to avoid pitting on
the surface.
• Marks from sliding metal pans on the cooktop are
difficult to remove completely. Use cooktop
polishing creme to clean the area. Several appli-
cations may be necessary.
• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads,
gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust
remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products
with ammonia. These products could damage
the cooktop surface.
Cleaning tips
What to use:
• Cooktop Polishing Creme included with your
range with a soft cloth
or clean, damp sponge –
This creme has been
developed especially for
cleaning and protecting
your cooktop. When
using the creme, follow
the instructions on the
container.
• Razor scraper in a holder – Use this scraper to
remove cooked-on soils
from your ceramic glass
cooktop. To avoid
scratches, keep the razor
blade as flat against the
cooktop as possible.
Store razor blades out
of reach of children.
