Do not attempt to remove or lift the
cooktop.
Heavyburned-on spills can be removed
with a razor blade scraper. Usecaution

DO NOT use a cooktop
cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can
be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic- glasssur-
face. Be sure the controls are turned to
OFF. Do not usecommercial oven clean-
ers on any part of the cooktop. Damage
to the finish or parts could result.
Correct and consistent cleaning isessential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass
top. Spills and spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy
water. This should be done either as soon as possible after the spill occurs, after
cooking iscompleted, or at the latest, before using the cooktop again. Usecaution
if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use a razor
blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at a 30° angle and remove food spillsor
burned on food residue.
Finish the cleaning process by applying a recommended heat-resistant glasscooktop
cleaning cream. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper
towel dampened with clean water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thor-
oughly to avoid heating any cleaner residue.
Apply cleaning cream before first useof the cooktop. The cream provides a protec-
tive coating on the glass surface which makes it easier to clean. Use the cream
regularly to preserve the appearance of your cooktop.
