I use Weiman cook top cleaning cream (shown in the first link in Rusty's
message). A sample bottle came with my glasstop range several years ago,
and I have purchased additional bottles at both Sears and Lowe's. It works
great. It takes only a very small amount, clean and buff with a paper towel
with *every* use of the glasstop. When I bought mine, the sales rep
suggested that I do this between every use to prevent baking on any
substances that might require more vigorous cleaning. It is easy to do and
literally takes only a second -- and my glasstop looks brand-new after
several years. Incidentally, the sales rep also said that one thing that
could mar these tops is is sugary substances are spilled and allowed to
remain on the hot stovetop. That has never happened to me, so I can't speak
from experience, but he said that those spills need to be cleaned
immediately.
