fusing and Caring for Your Cooktop
Cleaning tips
What to use:
• Cooktop Polishing Creme included with
your cooktop with a paper towel or clean,
damp sponge. This creme has been
developed especially for cleaning and
polishing your cooktop. When using, follow
instructions on container.
• Razor scraper - Use to remove cooked-
on soils from your ceramic glass cooktop.
To avoid scratches, keep the razor blade
as flat against the cooktop as possible.
Store razor blades out of reach of
children. (Not included with your range.)
• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,
or glass cleaning products with ammonia.
These products could damage the cooktop
surface.
Steps to follow:
1. Most spills can be wiped off easily
using a paper towel or clean, damp
sponge as soon as Hot Surface
Indicator Light goes off.
2. For stubborn spills, rub Cooktop
Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil
using a paper towel. If some soil remains,
leave some creme on the spot(s) and
follow Step 3.
3. Carefully scrape spots with the razor
scraper.
4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop
with Cooktop Polishing Creme and a
paper towel.
