Do Not Use the Following Cleaners • Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach. These ingredients
may permanently etch or stain the cooktop.
• Caustic Cleaners
• Oven cleaners such as Easy Off® may etch the cooktop surface.
• Abrasive Cleaners
• Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch
and/ or leave metal marks.
• Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch the surface.
• Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain cooktop.
• Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.
Table 10: Cooktop Care Chart
Type of Soil Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato
spills. Melted plastic film or foil. All these
items require immediate removal. Remove
only these types of spills while the surface is
hot using the razor blade scraper. Be sure to
use a new, sharp razor in your scraper.
• Remove pan and turn off the element.
• Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30
o
angle, using care not to
gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the heated area.
• After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and apply the
Cooktop Cleaning Creme®.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and
specks
• Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil for
about 30 minutes.
• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning Creme® or use the
razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.
Greasy spatters • Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly
and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme®.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain • Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave
marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with Cooktop
Cleaning Creme. If this does not remove the marks, try a mild
abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a damp-
ened paper towel. Rinse and reapply creme. Failure to remove
metal marks before the next heating makes removal very difficult.
Hard Water Spots - Hot cooking liquids
dripped on surface
• The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface
and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
Recondition with Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Surface scratches - Small scratches are to
be expected on the glass surface, but do not
affect cooking. In time, small scratches will
become smoother and much less noticeable
with daily use of the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
• Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove sand-like grains
and grit such as salt and seasoning.
• Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean,
and dry before use. Use recommended Cooktop Cleaning Creme
daily on the cooktop.
