Switch a glass stove off and let it return to room temperature before cleaning. If the appliance has a control lock, use it according to the manual. Working on hot glass can cause burns and may damage the surface.

Let a Glass Cooktop Cool before Cleaning It

Remove loose crumbs before treating grease with an approved method. Use nonabrasive tools and follow the cooktop maker rather than assuming every household mixture is suitable. Wipe away residue with a clean cloth so cleaner is not left to heat during the next use.

Heat and accidental control activation are avoidable complications during maintenance.
