CARE & CLEANING
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the
fi rst time, apply the recommended
CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to
the ceramic surface. Clean and buff
with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This
will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. The special cooktop
cleaning cream leaves a protective
fi nish 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, or they may crack it.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP
WARNING
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
IMPORTANT
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specifi cally designed for
ceramic glass cooktop.
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, then apply a few drops
of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
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 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 pad, applying pressure
as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.
