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 cleaning cream with a scrub
sponge and/or razor scraper.

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.

WARNING:

Carefully check the bottom of

pans for roughness that would scratch

the cooktop.
