Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass
cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning
Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop
cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad.
This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning
cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings
on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop
has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not
removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch
the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do
not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook
foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects
on the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel
or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop
surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled
area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, 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 buff
surface clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive
type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils 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 OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal
spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illus-
trated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy
or burned on soils.
