How to Care for a GE Glass Cooktop

GE glass cooktops provide a flat cooking surface with a sleek, modern appearance. Grease splatters and food spills can ruin the cooktop's appearance and, without proper maintenance, can even permanently ruin the smooth surface. Special care and cleaning methods are required to keep your GE glass cooktop looking and performing its best. GE recommends cleaning your glass cooktop with a dedicated cleaner to remove grime and restore shine.
