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
o Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine
bleach. These ingredients
may damage or
permanently
stain the cooktop.
o Caustic cleaners - cleaners such as Easy Off® may
stain the cooktop
surface.
o Abrasive cleaners.
o Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as
Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
o Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch
the surface.
o Powdery cleaners containing
chlorine bleach can
permanently
stain the cooktop.
o Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.

Type of Soil
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted
plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediatly can per-
manently damage the surface.
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. Wear-
ing 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. Protect
the blade when not in use. Replace the blade imme-
diately when any imperfections
are found. Follow
manufacturer's
instructions.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
Greasy spatters
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
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.
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
thoroughly
and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
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 sur-
face 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.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner before using to
remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and sea-
soning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with
bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use
recommended
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: : Diamond rings may scratch the surface.
Maintenance
This appliance
requires no maintenance
other than daily

daily.
