General Cleaning (continued)
Ceramic Glass Cooktop (somemodels, continued)
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans
are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing
or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.
Things to Remember
1. Do not slide utensils across cooktop surface in any circumstance, doing so may scratch or
metalmark the cooktop surface.
2. AVOID using bleach and don't use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.
3. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.
4. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop.
5. If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call your authorized
service technician immediately.
6. Never usea trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic
surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by such items.
7. Sugaryspills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills
while the cooktop isstill hot. Usecaution when following the steps below.
a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrapethe hot spill out of the cooking zone to
a cooler area on the cooktop.
c) Allow the cooktop to cool.

Use and Care of Glass Surface
Problem Cause To Prevent To Remove
Clean cooktop after every use.
Fine "brown lines"
(tiny scratches or
abrasions which have
collected soil).
Metal marking (mark
or black marks).
Brown streaks and
specks.
Coarse particles (salt, sand,
sugar or grit) between bottom
of cookware and cooktop that
are not removed before cook-
ing.
Using incorrect cleaning materi-
als.
Sliding or scraoing metal uten-
sils or oven shelves across
cooktop.
Cleaning with a sponge or dish-
cloth that has been used fot
other tasks.
Daily use of cleaner cream.
Do not slide cookware across
cooktop.
Use cleaner cream with clean,
damp paper towel.
Tiny scratches are not removable. They
can be minimized by continual use of
cleaner cream. Such scratches do not af-
fect cooking.
Apply cleaner cream with dampened pa-
per towel to cooled surface.
Use a small amount of cleaner cream
with clean, damp paper towel.
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated bythe surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element
will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has
completely cooled down. (White glasscooktops only).
