Smooth Glass Top Ceramic Cooktop Care



Care
Note: Black glasstops are different. See instructions
for them.

Turn diamond rings on hand away from surface to
prevent scratching top. Be sure utensils have no rough
spots to scratch the surface. Be sure the surface is
clean before heat is turned on, and bottoms of pans are
clean and dry to avoid burning on soil. Avoid spills and
boil-overs by turning down heat to lowest possible
setting for cooking task, and by using large enough pan.
Wipe up wet spot promptly, being careful to avoid steam
burns. Don't cook with foil on the smoothtop--it could be
damaged by foil melting into it. Cover pans to prevent
spatters.

Pans of soft metal such as aluminum can rub off on
the harder glass surface, making gray or black marks.
Copper bottom pans rub off less, but do not give as good
cooking performance as aluminum. Heavier weight, harder
aluminum marks less than lighter weights. Smooth the
bottom of new aluminum pans with a mild abrasive such as
Bon Ami. Do not slide pans across the surface; lift pan
up when moving or when shaking as in popping corn. Keep
surface protected with cleaner-conditioner. NEVER USE
FOIL on glasstops; rubbing it across surface also makes
dark metal marks.
