CARE AND CLEANING
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop.
Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire
cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the
towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream
directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area
using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying
pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to
clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal
razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree
angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with
cooktop cleaning cream and bu the surface clean.

IMPORTANT
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur
if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only
use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Cooktop Cleaning
WARNING
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health,
and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass
surface.
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.
The glass surface could be hot from contact
with hot cookware, and burns may occur if the
glass surface is touched before it has cooled
suciently.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned o and the range
is cool. The range may be hot and can cause
burns.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content need be
removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such
as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not
removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements o, use a razor blade scraper or a metal
spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot
surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool,
and use the same method for heavy or burned on
soils.
Do not use the following on the cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring
pads, such as metal and some nylon pads.
They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
dicult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine
bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may
etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper
towels, as they can leave soil or lint on
the cooktop which can burn and cause
discoloration.
