Special care
of the glass
surface
units
Sugary spillovers
(such as jellies, fudge, candy
syrups) or
melted plastics
can cause pitting of
the surface units of your cooktop (not covered
by the warranty) unless the spill is removed
while still hot.
Special care should be taken
when removing hot substances.
Follow these
instructions carefully and remove soil while
spill is still hot.
1
Turn off all surface units affected by the
spillover. Remove hot pans.
2
Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper
at a 30° angle to the cooktop and scrape hot
spill to a cool area outside the surface unit.
3
With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper
towel to remove any excess. Any spillover
remaining should be left until the surface of
the cooktop has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit
until all of the spillover has been removed.
Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue
the cleaning process.
Future care
of the glass
surface
units
• Do not use dishwashing detergents. They
will remove the protective coating and
therefore make the surface units more
susceptible to staining.

Precautions
for the glass
surface
units
• If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum,
copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the
overlay may bond with the glass surface units
and leave a black discoloration. This should
be removed immediately before heating again
or the discoloration may be permanent.
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength
white vinegar.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent
film on the glass surface units. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
• If you slide
aluminum or copper cookware
across the glass surface units of your cooktop,
they may leave
metal markings which appear
as scratches.
If this should happen, use
the razor scraper and cleaning cream to
remove these markings. Failure to remove
these residues immediately may leave
permanent marks.
• Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals
and abrasives which can damage the surface
units.
Use only the recommended cleaning
cream for proper cleaning and protection of
your glass surface units.
•
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
Note: Using a razor scraper will not damage the glass
surface units if the 30° angle is maintained.
