Note: On models with a white glass cooktop, any grease
spatter or greasy residue from a dish towel will burn on
the cooktop when the surface units are heated, leaving a
brown stain. This can be removed with the cooktop
cleaning cream and the razor scraper. To avoid this
brown discoloration, remove any spatter with paper
towels and cooktop cleaning cream before heating any
surface unit.
Heavy, Burned-On Soil
1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Apply a few drops (less is better) of cleaning cream
to the cool, soiled area. Spread the cream across the
entire soiled area.
3. Hold scraper at a 45° angle against the glass ce-
ramic surface. This 45° angle makes the scraping
easier.
Caution: Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do
not use a dull or nicked blade.
4. Scrape soil with the enclosed razor scraper. Keep a
small amount of cream on the soil as you scrape.
Heavily soiled areas may require repeated applica-
tions of cream. It will be necessary to press down on
the razor scraper while scraping the soiled area with
cooktop cream.
5. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.

Special Care for Sugary Spills
Caution: Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do
not use a dull or nicked blade.
Sugary spills (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or
melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop unless the spill is removed while still hot. This
pitting damage is not covered by the warranty. Special
care should be taken when removing these hot sub-
stances.
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spill. Re-
move hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 45°
angle to the cooktop. Scrape the 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 remaining spillage should

Using a razor scraper will not
damage the surface if the 45 angle
is maintained.
