What to Check First
- Scrape burnt deposits. While the cooktop is still hot, remove any burnt deposits or spilled food from the glass-ceramic cooking surface with a suitable scrapper. This method is similar to scrapping paint off a window pane, it will not damage the decorated cooking surface. Hold the scraper at approximately 30 o angle to the cooktop.
- Use cleaning creams. When the cooking surface has cooled down, apply a few dabs (about the size of a dime) of an approved cleaner in each burner area and work the cleaning cream over the cooktop surface with a damp dry cloth.
- Wipe the surface. Rinse with clean water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry paper towel. If stubborn soils remain, scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a scraper.
