NORMAL DAILY USE CLEANING
ONLY use Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner on the glass
cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective or they
might damage the surface with scratches or
permanent staining.
To maintain and protect the surface of your glass
cooktop, follow these steps:

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it
with Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. This helps protect
the top and makes cleanup easier.
2
Daily use of Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner will help
keep the cooktop looking new.

Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops
of Cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4
Use a paper towel clean the entire cooktop
surface.

Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning residue.
NOTE:
It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop
until it has been cleaned thoroughly.
BURNED-ON RESIDUE
To clean the glass-ceramic
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 potholder 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: Approved cleaner

damage the decorated cooking surface) while the
cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of

discoloration on the cooktop. This should be
removed immediately before heating again or the
discoloration may be permanent.

pads.
