Cleaning Materials for Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Some cleaning materials may contain an ingredient which can damage the cooktop. Use
recommended materials only (see below). Cleaner cream should be used regularly. Prior to using
your cooktop for the first time, apply a cleaner cream to the ceramic surface. A sample of CERAMA
BRYTE
® cleaner cream is supplied with your range. More are available in stores if needed.
Use only recommended cleaning products and follow these basic cleaning suggestions.
1. BEFORE THE COOKTOP IS USED. Thoroughly clean and saturate the cooktop with cleaner
cream.
a) Dampen clean paper towel and clean unit.
b) Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel; then wipe dry.
2. For normal daily cleaning, apply a dab of cleaner cream in the center of each unit-area to be
cleaned. Start with approximately 1/8 teaspoon. (Apply more if needed). Then, proceed as stated
above in (a and b).
3. Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry.
4. Select heat settings and cookware large enough for food and liquid. This stops boilovers and
spatterings.
5. Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn into surface.
IMPORTANT Regularly use cleaner cream. If you run out of cleaner cream, use one of the clean-
ers listed. Be sure to get a new supply of cleaner cream.
Never mix cleaning products! Mixtures may interact, with damaging or hazardous
results.
