Glass ceramic cooktop
9 CAUTION
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while
the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper.
The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your
health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack
and damage the surface.
Clean the surface when it is completely cool, with the
following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup,
tomato products and milk immediately with the razor
blade scraper (see cleaning chart).
Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper
towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge
remains; rinse.
Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel
or cloth.
Stainless steel side trim
Wipe with the grain when cleaning. For moderate/heavy
soil, use BonAmi® or Soft Scrub® (no bleach).
Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.
Cleaning guidelines
When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to
a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel.
For best results, use cleaners such as glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner, BonAmi®, Soft Scrub® (without
bleach), and white vinegar.
Avoid these cleaners
Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine
bleach. These ingredients may damage or
permanently stain the cooktop.
Caustic cleaners - cleaners such as Easy Off® may
stain 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 the cooktop.
Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.

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.
After the surface has cooled,
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 30minutes. 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.
