Maintenance
This appliance requires no maintenance other than
daily cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop
cleaning cream daily.
Type of Soil Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted plas-
tic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediatly can perma-
nently damage the surface. 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. Protect the
blade when not in use. Replace the blade immediately
when any imperfections are found. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
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.
Greasy spatters
Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly
and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain 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.
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and
cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recon-
dition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove boilovers
and stains before using the cooktop again.
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.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner 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 glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface.
