CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC COOKTOP
(cont')
Burned-On Residue
To clean the glass/ceramic cooktop
Step. 1
First remove any burnt-on
deposits or spilled food from
your glass/ceramic cooking
surface with a suitable metal
razor scraper (similar to
scraping paint off of your
windowpanes in your home - it will not damage the
decorated cooking surface). Hold the scraper at
approximately a 30° angle to the cooktop.
NOTE:
Do not use a dull or nicked blade. For your safety,
please wear an oven mitt/pot holder while using the
metal scraper.
Step. 2
When the cooking surface has
cooled down apply a few dabs
(about the size of a dime)of an
approved cleaner in each
burner area and work the
cleaning cream over the
cooktop surface with a damp paper towel as if you
were cleaning a window.
NOTE:

Step. 3
As a final step, clean with
clear water and wipe the
cooktop surface with a clean,
dry paper towel.
IMPORTANT:
If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves,
ketchup,tomato sauce,jellies,fudge,candy,syrups,
chocolate,etc.),a plastic item or kitchen foil
accidentally melts on the hot surface of your cooktop,
remove the molten material IMMEDIATELY with a
metal razor scraper (it will not damage the decorated
cooking surface)while the cooking surface is still hot
to avoid the risk of damage to the glass-ceramic
surface.For your safety please wear an oven mitt/pot
holder while cleaning the hot cooking surface.
Metal Marks and Scratches

cooktop.It will leave metal markings on the cooktop
surface.These marks are removable using the
Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner with the Cleaning Pad
for Ceramic Cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry,the overlay may leave black
discoloration on the cooktop.This should be
removed immediately before heating again or the
discoloration may be permanent.
Cooktop Seal
To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the
glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then
wipe clean with nonabrasive cleaners.

or uneven bottoms

the cooktop surface.
