Clean an induction glass cooktop: cool first, then use non-scratch tools

Induction glass may retain heat after power-off. For ordinary spills, wait until cool and use approved ceramic cooktop cleaner and non-scratch tools. Follow your model's directions for burned-on residue.

GE Appliances recommends ceramic cooktop cleaner for glass and induction surfaces and non-scratch pads on cooled burned-on residue. A razor scraper is only appropriate when the model instructions allow it and should be handled carefully. Do not operate a cracked glass surface.

0 / 6 done

Switch off the induction cooktop, check the residual-heat indicator and allow the glass to cool completely. Move hot pans safely.
Gently remove grains of salt, sugar or grit before wiping; keep pan bottoms and glass clean to reduce scratches.
Wipe light smudges with a soft cloth. Use only the amount and type of ceramic cooktop cleaner approved in your model's manual.
For burned-on residue after cooling, work carefully with the approved cleaner and a non-scratch pad. Avoid metal scourers, abrasive powder and oven cleaner.
Use a blade scraper only if your model's instructions explicitly allow it; follow the specified angle and blade safety measures. Ask a technician if uncertain.
Remove all cleaner residue and buff dry with a soft cloth. Sugary spillovers or melted plastic require special model-specific instructions rather than this normal cool-first routine.
