WipeClean Glass Cooktop Cleaning

WipeClean™ - Glass Cooktop Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, ensure all controls are off, and the oven and cooktop are cool.  Cooktop scrapers may damage the coating and potentially diminish cleaning performance.

Everyday Cleaning

  1. Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding.
  2. Spray the cooktop with water and soak for a minimum of 5 minutes, paying attention to cover the entire soiled area. For heavy stains, soak for 20-25 minutes. 
  3. Using a  paper or kitchen towel  remove the initial layer of soil from the surface
  4. Use a moist non-abrasive soft sponge and scrub the residual soil  from the surface
  5. With a paper or kitchen towel wipe off and dry the surface
  6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 as necessary for stubborn soils

Extremely Tough Soils

  1. For extremely heavy soils, increase the amount of time soaking in water up to 45 minutes.

  2. If extremely tough soil persists, apply a few dime-sized drops of a nonabrasive cooktop cleaner such as the affresh® Cooktop Cleaner* to the affected areas to remove the remaining soil from the surface. Gently apply the cleaner with a paper towel.

    • Use of a scraper is not recommended as it might cause potential cooktop scratches

    • Wipe away the cleaner with a warm, damp cloth after using any detergent

  3. Important: Do not apply excessive pressure while using detergents, and do not use coarse or abrasive sponges with them.  Detergents containing aggressive particles may damage your cooktop.

  • Detergents may contain abrasive particles or harsh chemicals: pay attention to detergents’ type when cleaning and do not let them sit on the surface for more than 10 minutes. Avoid these items when it comes to cleaning your glass top stove:
    • Steel wool and other scrubby, abrasive or course sponges
    • Abrasive powder cleansers or abrasive detergents
    • Chlorine bleach
    • Rust remover
    • Ammonia
    • Glass window cleaners
  • Light discoloration on the surface may happen if not cleaned frequently and cooking for a long time or cooking over a soiled surface: they usually do not compromise cleanability and surface properties.
  • Soaking with water will give the best results on cleaning: longer soaking times will increase cleanability efficiency and result, preserving cooktop surface over time.
  • Do not slide pots on the surface or use it as a cutting board. Small scratches on the surface may appear over normal use, as in standard glass, without compromising its performance
  • Avoid soiling buildup on the surface, as it can damage your product. Clean the cooktop surface after every spill; this will help preserve the cooktop surface over time.
