Cleaning the glass cooktop.

Turn off all surface units. Remove
hot pans.

Wearing an oven mitt:

Use a single-edge razor blade
scraper (CERAMA BRYTE

Ceramic Cooktop Scraper) to
move the spill to a cool area on
the cooktop.

Remove the spill with
paper towels.

Any remaining spillover should be
left until the surface of the cooktop
has cooled.

Don’t use the surface units again
until all of the residue has been
completely removed.

NOTE:

If pitting or indentation in the glass

surface has already occurred, the cooktop
glass will have to be replaced. In this case,
service will be necessary.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Our testing shows that if
you are cooking high sugar
mixtures such as jelly or
fudge and have a spillover,
it can cause permanent
damage to the glass surface
unless the spillover is
immediately removed.

Be careful not to slide pots and
pans across your cooktop. It will
leave metal markings on the
cooktop surface.

These marks are removable using
the CERAMA BRYTE

Ceramic

Cooktop Cleaner with the CERAMA
BRYTE

Cleaning Pad for Ceramic

Cooktops.

If pots with a thin overlay of
aluminum or copper are allowed
to boil dry, the overlay may leave
black discoloration on the
cooktop.

This should be removed
immediately before heating
again or the discoloration
may be permanent.

CAUTION:

Carefully check the bottom of

pans for roughness that would scratch
the cooktop.
