Type of Soil
Dry sugar, sugar syrup,
milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or foil.
All these items REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Fail-
ure to remove these imme-
diatly can permanently
damage the surface.
Burned-on food soil, dark
streaks, and specks
Greasy spatters
Possible Solution
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.

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 manu-
facturer's instructions.
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.
Use a soapy sponge or cloth
to remove grease; rinse thor-
oughly and dry. Apply glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Type of Soil
Metal marks: Iridescent
stain
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids
dripped on surface
Surface scratches:
Small scratches are com-
mon and do not affect
cooking. They become
smoother and less notice-
able with daily use of the
glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.

Maintenance

This appliance requires no maintenance other than
daily cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop
cleaning cream daily.
Possible Solution
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 glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. Failure to remove
metal marks before the next
heating makes removal very
difficult.
Minerals in some water can be
transferred onto the surface
and cause stains. Use undi-
luted white vinegar, rinse and
dry. Recondition with glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Remove boilovers and stains
before using the cooktop
again.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner before using to
remove sand-like grains and
grit such as salt and season-
ing. Scratches can be
reduced by using pans with
bases that are smooth, clean,
and dry before use. Use rec-
ommended glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: Avoid contact with
surface by jewelry, wrist
watches and metallic utenstis.
These can scratch the surface.
Do not stack kitchen utensils
or dishware on the appliance.
