How to Clean White Radiant Stove Tops

Radiant stove tops are easy to clean if done so properly.

Radiant stove tops have been available on the market for years and have been gaining in popularity. Radiant stove tops have an electric heating element like those seen on a coil range but--unlike coil range stoves--the heating element is underneath the flat stove top. Radiant stove tops are typically glass or ceramic and--if not cared for properly--can become scratched. Radiant stove tops are generally easier to clean than a coil range. This is due to the fact that radiant stove tops are a flat surface and do not have little cervices for food to hide. However, if food, dirt and other debris sit on a radiant range they can cause the range not to function properly.

Things You'll Need

• Cloth
• Soapy water
• Approved stove top cleaner
• Mild glass cleaner
• Sponge
• Razor blade scraper
• Water

Instructions

1. Allow the stove top to cool before cleaning.

2. Wipe spills away with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Clean spills as soon as they happen.

3. Apply an approved cleaning creamer for your specific range to a sponge. Alternatively, use a mild glass cleaner that does not contain ammonia.

4. Rub the stove top with the saturated sponge.

5. Scrape burnt-on food and dirt with the razor blade scraper that came with your radiant stove top. Hold the razor blade at a 30-degree angle against the surface of the stove.

6. Rinse the stove top with a clean, damp cloth.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners on your radiant stove top.
