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 immediately 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
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 glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner.
Burned-on food soil, dark
streaks, and specks Soften by laying a damp paper towel or
sponge on top of soil for 30 minutes.
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 thoroughly and dry. Apply
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain Pans with aluminum, copper or
stainless steel bases may leave marks.
Treat immediately 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
crème. Failure to remove metal marks
before the next heating makes removal
very difficult.
Hard Water Spots
Hot cooking liquids dripped on
surface Minerals in some water can be
transferred onto the surface and cause
stains. Use undiluted white vinegar,
rinse and dry. Recondition with glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove
boilovers and stains, before using the
cooktop again.
Surface scratches
Small scratches are common and do
not affect cooking. They become
smoother and less noticeable with
daily use of the glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner
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 glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner daily.
Be Careful: Diamond rings will
scratch the surface.
Maintenance
This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily cleaning. For best results,
apply cooktop cleaning cream daily
.
