and all recommended supplies
are available through our Parts
Center. See the Accessories

sections at the end of this
manual.
NOTE: Do not use a dull or
nicked blade.
Metal Marks and Scratches
1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your
cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop
surface.
These marks are removable using the ceramic
cooktop cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for
ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black
discoloration on the cooktop.
This should be removed immediately before heating
again or the discoloration may be permanent.
NOTE: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness
that would scratch the cooktop.
3. Be careful not to place aluminum baking sheets or
aluminum frozen entrée containers on a hot cooktop
surface. It will leave shinny dots or markings on the
cooktop surface. These markings are permanent and
cannot be cleaned off.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt:
  a. Useasingle-edgerazorbladescrapertomove

b. Remove the spill with paper towels.
3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface
of the cooktop has cooled.
4. Don’t use the surface units again until all of the
residue has been completely removed.
NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has
already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be
replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
