CLEANING AND CARE
After each use, ensure the controls are set to OFF and let your
cooktop cool down completely before cleaning your cooktop.
When it is cool to the touch, apply approximately 1 teaspoon
(5 ml) of non-abrasive cleaner with a lightly damp cloth to the
ceramic glass surface. Use a second cloth to remove any remain-
ing cleaner residue. Wipe dry with a dry cloth.
DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING TO
CLEAN YOUR UNIT
• Glass cleaners containing ammonia or chlorine bleach, as
these materials may stain the cooktop
• Caustic cleaners that may etch the surface
• Abrasive cleaners
• Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges
• Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach
• Flammable cleaners, such as lighter fluid or WD-40
NOTE: Sugary products can damage the ceramic glass surface.
If dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products or milk spills on
the surface during heating, clean the ceramic glass surface
immediately.
METAL MARKS AND SCRATCHES
1
Do not slide pots and pans across your cooktop. Sliding
cookware will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks are removable using a ceramic glass cleaner
with cleaning pad for ceramic glass.
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. Discoloration should be removed immediately before
heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.
WARNING
DO NOT USE OR CLEAN DAMAGED
COOKTOP. If the cooktop should crack or break, do not use
or attempt to clean it. Turn off the appliance at the circuit breaker
or fuse box and call an authorized servicer.
SUGARY SPILLS, MILK, TOMATO-
BASED PRODUCTS, MELTED PLASTICS
OR HEAVILY BURNED-ON RESIDUE
Sugary spills (jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, etc.), milk, tomato-
based products, melted plastics or heavily burned-on residue
can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop unless the spill
is removed while still hot. (Damage from pitting is not covered
by warranty.)
WARNING
USE SPECIAL CARE WHEN REMOVING
SPILLS WHILE COOKTOP SURFACE IS HOT.
Remove these spills while the cooktop is still hot.
1
Turn off all heaters and remove all pans immediately.
2
Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper at a 30˚ angle
against the ceramic glass surface and scrape from hot surface
to a cooler area.
3
Remove the spills with paper towels.
NOTE:
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Be sure to use a new, sharp
razor scraper.
• Do not use the razor blade for daily cleaning, as it may wear
the pattern on the glass.
If the ceramic glass surface of your cooktop is damaged by
pitting, it should be replaced.
