Cleaning the Glass Cooktop Surface
WARNING
• Unless otherwise specified, make sure that all cooking zones are cool enough to safely touch before cleaning.
• Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled to
prevent steam burns.
• To avoid dangerous fumes and damage to the cooktop, use only the cleaners specified. Use them only as
instructed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may cause permanent damage.
• When removing heavy spills, use only the included razor blade scraper or a plastic spatula. Do not remove heavy
spills with sharp objects like a knife or metal spatula. Using objects other than those specified may scratch the
surfaces.
Cleaners To Avoid
These types of cleaners can discolor, scratch, stain, mark
or etch the glass or trim.
• Glass cleaners containing chlorine bleach or ammonia.
• Caustic cleaners, such as oven cleaners.
• Abrasive cleaners (i.e.: metal scouring pads, Scotch
Brite, sponges, S.O.S. pads)
• Powder or liquid cleaners containing chlorine bleach or
abrasives/cleaners.
• Flammable cleaners.
Special Cleaning Methods
The following applies to the glass surface only:
• Sugar, syrup, tomato spills - REMOVE THESE
TYPES OF SPILLS IMMEDIATELY, WHILE THE COOKTOP
SURFACE IS HOT. USE A PLASTIC SPATULA OR THE
INCLUDED RAZOR BLADE SCRAPER ONLY. THIS TYPE
OF CLEAN UP IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS DONE WHEN
THE COOKTOP SURFACE IS HOT! After scraping, allow
the cooking surface to cool, then use a dry towel or
sponge to wipe up residue.
1. Remove utensils/pans
from the cooktop and turn
off the controls. Angle
the scraper slightly and
push spills or residue off
the heated surface. Do
not scratch or gouge (see
diagram).
2. Let the surface cool and remove any residue.
Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème (see follow-
ing page).
• Burned-on food
1. Soften using a moist cloth or paper towel over the
soil for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Wipe clean, dry and apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Crème (see following page),
• Metal marks – Utensils/pans will occasionally leave
marks. If Cleaning Crème does not remove marks use
a mild cleanser (i.e.: Bon Ami) to remove.
Rinse and dry surface and apply Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Crème. NOTE: Magnetic stainless steel and
porcelain coated steel/iron pans are less likely to leave
marks than other types of cookware. Uncoated cast
iron pans are more likely to cause marking on the
glass. Always avoid sliding cookware across the glass.
• Water spots
1. Apply undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
2. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème.
• Scratches
Scratches cannot be removed. Avoid scratches by
using clean pans and removing gritty food spillages
quickly. Keep the cooktop clean and apply Dacor
Cooktop Cleaning Crème often. Surface scratches will
not affect cooking capability.
How to use Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme
• Regular use of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème on
the glass surface will protect the surface and make it
easier to remove food soil and water spots.
• To clean the cooktop, be sure it is cool, then apply
about a 1/4 teaspoon of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Creme*, to the ceramic glass surface with a lightly
dampened clean cloth. Use a second clean cloth to
remove any remaining cleaner residue. Wipe the cook-
top surface with a dry cloth to completely eliminate
any remaining moisture.
