Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,
such as metal and some nylon pads. They may
scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult 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.

Special Cleaning Instructions for Mineral Deposits and Discolorations
Problem: A gray brown stain cannot be removed when using cleaner cream.
Cause:
Condensation, when cooking, often collects and drips from cookware. The minerals
found in water may cause a gray or brown film to develop on cooktop. This film is very
thin and appears to be under cooktop.
Prevention: Daily and proper use of cleaner cream.
Removal:
• Wet surface with water and sprinkle on cleaner cream.
• Scrub with clean, damp paper towel until stain disappears.
• Clean remaining paste away with damp paper towel.
• Apply dab of cleaner cream and polish with a clean paper towel.
Do not use cleaners on a heated surface. Fumes could be hazardous. Wait for area
to cool before cleaning. Do not use cleaner cream to clean porcelain, paint or aluminium because
it could damage the surface.
