How to Clean a Glass/Ceramic Cooktop or Smooth Top Range

Smooth, glass/ceramic cooktop ranges appeal to many consumers because they are attractive and easy to use, but they must be properly maintained with the right cleaning products. The increasingly popular glass cooktop range is beautiful and sleek when free of unsightly residue and burned on foods. Follow these quick, simple tips for regular maintenance and care:

Always allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.

For light to normal soil

• Clean the cooled surface with Weiman Cook Top Daily Cleaner after each use. Clean with a paper towel or, for heavier soil, apply Weiman Glass Cook Top Heavy Duty Cleaner & Polish and clean with the Weiman Cook Top Scrubbing Pad
• Clean the cooktop surface frequently to ensure a protective coating is applied. This helps prevent scratches and abrasions
• Keep a container of Weiman Cook Top Wipes near your range for quick, easy cleanups or to refresh the surface with a streak-free shine

For heavy, burned on foods or stubborn soil

• Apply Weiman Glass Cook Top Heavy Duty Cleaner & Polish to the cool, soiled area. Use a Weiman Cook Top Scrubbing Pad and rub into the burned on residue until it is completely removed
• After cleaning, always buff with a paper towel or soft cloth to shine

General Tips

• Clean up spills and food residue as soon as the range has cooled. Allowing spills, especially those containing sugar or acids, to fully dry can increase the difficulty of removing soils from the cooktop surface
• Clean your range after each use so you don?t create a buildup of burned on foods which, over time, can damage the range surface
• Don?t use your cooktop as a countertop! Placing foreign items on the cooktop for ?storage? (even temporarily) may damage or scratch the surface over time
• Use pots and pans with a smooth, flat bottom. Do not slide pots or pans across the surface
• Keep the surface clean of gritty particles or crumbs and make sure they don?t get between the cooktop and your cookware
