General Care & Cleaning Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration. Daily Cleaning For normal soil: 1. Allow cooktop surface to cool. 2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water. 3. If needed, use mild household cleaners or a soap-filled steel wool pad. 4. Be sure to rinse off all cleaning solutions or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. For heavy, burned=on soil: 1. Allow cooktop surface to cool. 2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the cooking surface. Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.
