Cleaning chart
Maintenance
This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily
cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning cream
daily.
Type of Soil Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup,
milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or
foil. All these items
REQUIRE IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL. Failure to
remove these immedi-
atly can permanently
damage the surface.
Remove these types of spills
while the surface is hot using
the razor blade scraper. Use
a new, sharp razor in the
scraper. Remove pan and
turn off the element. Wearing
an oven mitt, hold scraper at
30° angle, using care not to
gouge or scratch the glass.
Push soil off the heated area.

remove the residue and apply
the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
The blade is extremely
sharp. Risk of cuts. Pro-
tect the blade when not
in use. Replace the
blade immediately when
any imperfections are
found. Follow manufac-
turer’s instructions.
Burned-on food soil,
dark streaks, and
specks
Soften by laying a damp
paper towel or sponge on top
of soil for 30minutes. Use a
plastic scrubber and glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner or
use the razor blade scraper.
Rinse and dry.
Greasy spatters Use a soapy sponge or cloth
to remove grease; rinse thor-
oughly and dry. Apply glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Metal marks:
Iridescent stain
Pans with aluminum, copper
or stainless steel bases may
leave marks. Treat immedi-
ately after surface has cooled
with glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. If this does not
remove the marks, try a mild
abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft
Scrub® without bleach) with a
damp paper towel. Rinse and
reapply glass ceramic cook-
top cleaner. Failure to remove
metal marks before the next
heating makes removal very
difficult.
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids
dripped on surface
Minerals in some water can
be transferred onto the sur-
face and cause stains. Use
undiluted white vinegar, rinse
and dry. Recondition with
glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. Remove boilovers
and stains before using the
cooktop again.
Surface scratches:
Small scratches are
common and do not
affect cooking. They
become smoother and
less noticeable with
daily use of the glass
ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner before using to
remove sand-like grains and
grit such as salt and season-
ing. Scratches can be
reduced by using pans with
bases that are smooth, clean,
and dry before use. Use rec-
ommended glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: Avoid contact with
surface by jewelry, wrist
watches and metallic utensils.
These can scratch the sur-
face. Do not stack kitchen
utensils or dishware on the
appliance.
