Cleaning the cooktop according to the guidelines presented in the cooktop’s use and care guide avoids scratches, stains or discoloring. Clean any minor spills off the cooktop as soon as possible using the included Cerma Bryte cleanser and a nonabrasive cloth or sponge. Wait until the cooktop cools for burnt-on spills. Scrape off the burned-on spills with a razor scraper, and then clean with Cerma Bryte cleanser.
