Cleaning Problems on Glass Ceramic Top
Problem Cause To Prevent To Remove
Brown
streaks and
specks Cleaning with
sponge or cloth
containing soil-
laden detergent
water. Use cleaning
cream with
clean damp paper
towel. Use a light applica-
tion of cleaning
cream with a clean
damp paper towel.
Blackened
burned on
spots Spatters or
spillovers onto a
hot cooking area
or accidental melt-
ing of a
plastic film, such
as a bread bag. Wipe all spillovers
as soon as it is
safe and DO NOT
put plastic items
on a warm
cooking area. Clean area with
cleaning cream
and a damp paper
towel, non-
abrasive nylon pad
or scouring brush.
If burn-on is not re-
moved, cool cook-
top, and carefully
scrape area with a
single- edged razor
blade held at a 30°
angle.
Fine
brown/gray
lines, fine
scratches, or
abrasions
which have
collected
soil Coarse particles
(salt, sugar) can
get caught on the
bottom of cook-
ware and become
embedded
into top.
Use of abrasive
cleaning materials.
Scratches from
rough ceramic
glass, or ceramic
coated cookware.
Wipe the bottom
of cookware
before cooking.
Clean top daily
with cleaning
cream. DO NOT
use ceramic or ce-
ramic coated cook-
ware. Fine scratches
are not removable
but can be mini-
mized by
daily use of clean-
ing cream.
Smearing or
streaking Use of too much
cleaning cream
or use of a soiled
dishcloth. Use a small
amount of cream.
Rinse thoroughly
before drying. Use
only paper towels
or nylon scrub pad
or brush. Dampen paper
towel with a mix-
ture of vinegar and
water and wipe sur-
face.
Wipe area with
damp paper towel
or lint free cloth.
Problem Cause To Prevent To Remove
Metal mark-
ings
(silver/gray
marks) Sliding or scraping
metal cookware
on glass top. DO NOT slide
metal objects
across top. Remove metal
marks before the
glass top is used
again. Apply clean-
ing cream with a
damp
paper towel and
scrub with a nylon
scrub pad or
brush. Rinse thor-
oughly and
dry.
Hard water
spots Condensation
from cooking may
cause minerals
found in water
and acids to drip
on to glass top
and cause gray de-
posits (the
spots are often so
thin they appear
to be in the glass
top). Make sure the bot-
tom of cookware is
dry before cooking.
Daily use of clean-
ing cream will help
keep top free from
hard water mineral
deposits and food
discoloration. Mix cleaning
cream with water
and apply a thick
paste to stained
area. Scrub vigor-
ously. If stain is not
removed, reapply
cleaner and repeat
process. Also
try cleaning proce-
dure for smearing
and streaking.
Pitting or
flaking Boil over of sugar
syrup on glass top.
This can cause pit-
ting if not removed
immediately. Watch sugar and
syrups carefully to
avoid boil overs. Turn element to
LO; use several
paper towels to
wipe the spill im-
mediately. Let glass
top cool and care-
fully scrape off re-
mainder of burn-off
with a single-
edged razor blade
held at a 30° angle.
