Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst 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). Bu with a cloth
or cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective nish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal mark-
ings 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.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to and the cooktop is COOL.
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.
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a plastic type
cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a
plastic type 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, then apply a
few drops of cleaning cream and bu surface clean.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specically
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 ce-
ramic 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 illustrated). Allow the
cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under
any circumstances.
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of
other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil
dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.
