Type of soil
Recommendation
¡
Burned-on food
soil
¡
Dark streaks
¡
Dark specks
¡
Lay a damp paper towel or
sponge on top of the soil for
30 minutes to soften the soil.
¡
Remove the soil with a plastic
scrubber and glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner or with the
glass scraper.
¡
Rinse the cooktop surface and
dry it.
Greasy spatters
¡
Remove grease with a soapy
sponge or cloth.
¡
Rinse the cooktop surface
thoroughly and dry it.
¡
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Metal marks: irides-
cent stain
Pans with aluminum, copper or
stainless steel bases may leave
marks.
Treat metal marks immediately
after the cooktop surface has
cooled off. Failure to do so
makes removal very difficult.
¡
Clean the cooktop surface with
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
¡
If this does not remove the
marks, clean the cooktop sur-
face with a damp paper towel
and a mild abrasive (Bon
Ami®
1
, Soft Scrub®
1
without
bleach).
¡
Rinse the cooktop surface and
apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Hard water spots
Hot cooking liquids may drip or
spill on the cooktop surface. The
minerals in some water can be
transferred onto the surface and
cause stains.
Remove boilovers and stains be-
fore using the cooktop again.
¡
Clean the cooktop surface with
undiluted white vinegar.
¡
Rinse the cooktop surface and
dry it.
¡
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Surface scratches
Small scratches are common and
do not affect cooking. They be-
come smoother and less notice-
able with daily use of the glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
¡
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner before cooking to re-
move sand-like grains and grit
such as salt and seasoning.
¡
Scratches can be reduced by
using pans with bases that are
smooth, clean, and dry before
use. Use recommended glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.
