Appliance Tip of the Week:
Ceran Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Many tips on caring for your Ceran glass cook top....
Congratulations! The design of the cooking appliance you have purchased has been thoroughly evaluated in test kitchens and then manufactured to the highest quality standards.
Because the glass-ceramic cook top differs from the other cooking surfaces, we would like to share with you some important information about the use and the care of your appliance.
Its normal to see the element glow red then darken while cooking at settings below High. This cycling on and off is used to maintain your selected control setting. Cycling when the selector is set on High is due to poor transfer of heat to cookware that is not flat.
Use an recommended cleaning cream and a razor scraper, two key ingredients for easy care of your new cooking surface. Other cleaners contain chemicals that mat damage the cook top. Use only a recommended cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or Cook top Cleaning Cream for proper cleaning and protection of your ceramic surface.
Please follow these instructions for easy and maintenance:
Normal, light soil
Our testing shows that proper cookware affects the cooking performance and the cleaning of the glass-ceramic surface. Choose pots and pans that are flat on the bottom and large enough to cover the entire cooking zone used. Also, if you are cooking high sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have a spill over, permanent damage to the cook top surface may occur unless spillover is immediately removed. Other Ceran cleaners you may want to try....

Stainless Steel Cleaning
Q - What recommendations can you give me for the care and cleaning of the stainless steel exterior of my appliances?
A - Find out whether the exterior of your appliance is stainless steel or brushed chrome ( ask your dealer or the manufacture ). This can effect some cleaning recommendations, especially on how aggressive you can be.
For both stainless steel or brushed chrome exterior surfaces, you should follow the tips:
- Always wipe with the grain
- Do not use chlorine bleach or cleaning products that contain chlorine bleach.
- Always read the manufacture's instructions on the label of the cleaner, to be sure the cleaner can be safely used on either brushed chrome or stainless steel.
- For daily cleaning and light soil, use a clean, soft cloth or sponge and one of the following:
Rinse and dry. To polish and help prevent fingerprints, follow with *Stainless Steel Magic Spray.
- For moderate to heavy soil:
Use a clean, soft cloth or damp sponge and clean with nonabrasive cleaner such as a baking soda paste or *Bon Ami. Rinse and dry.
To restore luster and to prevent streaks, follow with *Stainless Steel Magic Spray.
Tip- Chrome will permanently discolor if soil is allowed to bake on.
Specific instructions for cleaning moderate to heavy soils or discoloration on stainless steel surfaces ONLY ( the below products and practices may scratch brushed chrome, so they are not recommended ):
Using a clean, damp sponge or soft cloth, a mild abrasive cleaner such as *Cameo Stainless Steel Cleaner, or *Soft Scrub ( without bleach ) can be used. Rinse immediately and dry. Follow with *Stainless Steel Magic Spray.
More stubborn soils can be removed using a damp *Scotch-Brite pad. Be sure to rub evenly with the grain of the stainless steel. Rinse immediately and dry.
*Brand names are the trademarks of the respective manufacturer.

Please follow these instructions for easy and maintenance:
Normal, light soil
- Clean cool surface with cleaning cream after each use. Rub a small amount onto the soiled area using a damp paper towel. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed.
- Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
- Apply a few drops of cleaning cream to the cool, soiled area.
- Using a damp paper towel, rub cream onto the burned-on area.
- Carefully scrape remaining soil with the enclosed razor scraper. Hold scraper at a 30 degree angle against the ceramic surface. Store razor scraper out of reach of children.
- If any soil remains, repeat steps listed above.
