Cleaning the Glass Cooktop
CARE AND CLEANING:
Cleaning
the Glass Cooktop
Metal Marks and Scratches
1. 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 a ceramic cooktop
cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic
cooktops.
2. 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.
NOTE: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness
that would scratch the cooktop.
3. Be careful not to place aluminum baking sheets or
aluminum frozen entrée containers on a hot cooktop
surface. It will leave shiny dots or markings on the
cooktop surface. These markings are permanent and
cannot be cleaned off.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Special care should be taken when removing hot substances
to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface
.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface 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.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt:
a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper to move
the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.
b. Remove the spill with paper towels.
3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface
of the cooktop has cooled.
4. 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.
Cleaning Trim
Do not use a steel wool or green pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the
surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. To inquire
about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, visit

Cleaning Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the Off positions and pull
them straight off the stems for cleaning. The knobs can
be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing. Replace the knobs in the Off
position to ensure proper placement. Clear groove
