Care and Cleaning
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
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:
➊ Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with
Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. This helps protect the top
and makes cleanup easier.
➋ Daily use of Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner will help keep
the cooktop looking new.
➌ Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of
Cleaner directly to the cooktop.
➍ Use a paper towel clean the entire cooktop surface.
➎ 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.
CAUTION
• DO NOT use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning
pads.
- They may damage your glass cooktop surface.
• For your safety please wear an oven mitt
potholder while cleaning the hot cooking
surface.
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 a
ceramic glass cooktop cleaner
in each burner area and work
the cleaning cream over the
induction cooktop surface with a damp paper towel.
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 potholder while
cleaning the hot cooking surface.
METAL MARKS AND SCRATCHES
➊ Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your
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.
➋ 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.
