TYPE OF SOIL
Failure to remove these soils immediately can
permanently damage the surface.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease;
rinse thoroughly and dry. Apply Cooktop
Cleaning Creme.
• Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel
bases may leave marks. Treat immediately, after
surface has cooled, with the Cooktop Cleaning
Creme. If this does not remove the metal marks,
try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami
®
, Soft Scrub
®
without
bleach) with a dampened paper towel. Rinse and
reapply creme.
Failure to remove metal marks before the next
heating makes removal very diffi cult.
• 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.
• Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove
sand-like grains and grit such as salt and
seasoning.
• Scratches 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.
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic fi lm or foil. All these items REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
Remove only these types of spills while the surface
is hot using the razor blade scraper. See illustration
on Page 8.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your
scraper.
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 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.
