The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface. Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new appliance. 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 (see Fig. 1). 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 or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. • Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack. Fig.1 Cooktop cleaning CAUTION: Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. 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. Do not: • Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. • Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using. • Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. • Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
