Depending on how dirty your cooktop is, different cleaning methods will
apply.
If your
cooktop is light to moderately dirty, use either cooktop
cleaner, hand dishwashing detergent and water, or a baking soda paste.
Apply with a non-abrasive cloth or paper towel.
Note: If using hand dishwashing detergent or baking soda paste,
make sure to thoroughly rinse and dry your cooktop when done cleaning.
If your
cooktop is very dirty, has metal marking, or brown/gray stains
from hard water, clean gently with cooktop cleaner using a non-abrasive
cloth or paper towel. Put more cleaner on the cooktop and cover with
damp paper towels to keep cleaner from drying out. Let it stand for
30 - 40 minutes. Then you can scrub off any remaining stains.
If your
cooktop has burnt or crusty food on it, you can use a
razor to get it off. Hold a razor blade scraper at a 30 degree angle
and very carefully scrape off the burned food. Clean the rest
of the cooktop with a cleaner.
Note:
Never use abrasive powders or pads - they could scratch your cooktop.
