CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC COOKTOP
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: Approved cleaners

As a final step, clean with clear
water and wipe the cooktop
surface with a clean, dry paper
towel.

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.

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.

or uneven bottoms

the cooktop surface.
