Cleaning guidelines
When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to
a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel.
For best results, use cleaners such as glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner, BonAmi®, Soft Scrub® (without
bleach), and white vinegar.

bleach. These ingredients may damage or permanently
stain the cooktop.

Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.

the surface.

Type of Soil
Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup,
milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or foil.
All these items REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
Failure to remove these
immediatly can perma-
nently damage the sur-
face.
Remove these types of spills
while the surface is hot using
the razor blade scraper. Use a
new, sharp razor in the
scraper. Remove pan and turn
off the element. Wearing an
oven mitt, hold scraper at 30°
angle, using care not to
gouge or scratch the glass.
Push soil off the heated area.
After the surface has cooled,
remove the residue and apply
the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.

WARNING
Risk of injury!
The blade is extremely
sharp. Risk of cuts. Pro-
tect the blade when not
in use. Replace the
blade immediately when
any imperfections are
found. Follow manufac-
turer’s instructions.
Burned-on food soil, dark
streaks, and specks
Soften by laying a damp paper
towel or sponge on top of soil
for 30 minutes. Use a plastic
scrubber and glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner or use the
razor blade scraper. Rinse
and dry.
Greasy spatters
Use a soapy sponge or cloth
to remove grease; rinse thor-
oughly and dry. Apply glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Metal marks: Iridescent
stain
Pans with aluminum, copper
or stainless steel bases may
leave marks. Treat immedi-
ately after surface has cooled
with glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. If this does not
remove the marks, try a mild
abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft
Scrub® without bleach) with a
damp paper towel. Rinse and
reapply glass ceramic cook-
top cleaner. Failure to remove
metal marks before the next
heating makes removal very
difficult.
