Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop.
If food spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of
the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily Cleaning
For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm,
soapy water.
3. If needed, use mild household cleaners or a soap-filled steel wool pad.
4. Be sure to rinse off all cleaning solutions or the porcelain may become damaged
during future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a
solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
