Cleaning Guidelines
Table 3: Special Care Chart
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 soils
immediately can permanently damage the
surface.
• Remove only these types of spills while the surface is hot using the
razor blade scraper. Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your
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
Cooktop Cleaning Creme®.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks • Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil for
about 30 minutes.
• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning Creme® 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 Cooktop Cleaning Creme®.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain • Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave
marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with Cooktop
Cleaning Creme. If this does not remove the marks, try a mild
abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a damp-
ened paper towel. Rinse and reapply creme. Failure to remove
metal marks before the next heating makes removal very difficult.
Hard Water Spots
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface • The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface
and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
Recondition with Cooktop Cleaning Creme. Remove boilovers and
stains, before using the cooktop again.
Surface scratches
Small scratches are to be expected on the
glass surface, but do not affect cooking. In
time, small scratches will become smoother
and much less noticeable with daily use of the
Cooktop Cleaning Creme. • Apply Cleaning Creme 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 Cooktop Cleaning Creme
daily on the cooktop.
Be Careful: Diamond rings will scratch the surface.
