WARNING
USE SPECIAL CARE WHEN REMOVING
THESE SPILLS WHILE cooktop SURFACE IS HOT.
You must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot.
1 Turn off all heaters and remove all pans immediately.
2 Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper at a 30-degree
angle against the glass ceramic surface and scrape from hot
surface to a cooler area.
3 Remove the spills with paper towels.
NOTE:
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Be sure to use a new, sharp
razor scraper.
• Do not use the razor blade for daily cleaning as it may wear
the pattern on the glass.
If the ceramic glass surface of your cooktop is damaged by
pitting, it should be replaced.
METAL MARKS OR BURNED ON RESIDUE
Metal marks and burned on residue should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
1 Dampen a “scratchless” or “never scratch” pad that is safe for
non-stick cookware. The pattern and glass will be damaged
if the pad is not damp or is soiled or if another type of pad
is used. Apply a cleaner cream for glass ceramic cooktops.
2 Scrub to remove as much soil as possible.
3 Apply the cleaner cream over the soil, cover with a damp
paper towel and let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour. Keep moist
by covering the paper towel with plastic wrap.
4 Scrub again and wipe off with another clean, damp paper
towel. Then wipe dry.

• Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop.
• If pots or pans of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil
dry, permanent damage may affect the ceramic glass surface.
• Do not slide pots and pans across the cooktop surface.

cooktop surface.
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Be sure to use a new, sharp
razor scraper.
