Special Care:

Sugary spillovers (such   jellies, fudge, candy
syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the
surface 

 your module 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 

 all surface units affected by the spillover.

Remove hot utensils.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor

should be left until the surface of the cooktop has
cooled. Do not continue   use the soiled surface
unit until all of the 

 has been removed.

Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue the
cleaning 

2. Using a dry paper towel, rub creme into the burned

 area.

 Carefully scrape remaining soil with razor scraper.

Hold scraper at 300 angle against the ceramic surface.

4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.

For additional protection, after all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook
Top Cleaning Creme.

NOTE:

● 

Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface if

the 

 is maintained.  Store the razor scraper

out of reach of children.

● 

Be sure to use a new, sharp 

 scraper. Do not use

a dull or nicked blade.

General Information:

As the Cook Top Cleaning Creme cleans, it leaves
a protective silicone coating on the 

 surface.

This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral
deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning
easier. Dishwasher detergents remove this protective
coating and therefore make the cooktop more

susceptible to staining.

PRECAUTIONS:

● 

Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and

abrasives  which can damage the surface   your
cooktop.  Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme
for proper cleaning and protection of your glass
ceramic surface.

● 

If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across

the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal
markings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.

 If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or

enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may
bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black
discoloration. This should be removed immediately

 heating again or the discoloration 

 be

permanent.

 Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film

on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will
remove this discoloration.

● 

Water stains (calcium deposits) are removable

using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or 

 strength

white vinegar.
