Metal markings
(silver/gray marks)
Condensation
from cooking may cause
minerals found in water
and acids to drip on to
glass top and cause gray
deposits (the
spots are often so thin they
appear
to be in the glass top).
Make sure the bottom of
cookware is dry before
cooking. Daily use of
cleaning cream will help
keep top free from hard
water mineral deposits
and food discoloration.

cream with water and apply a
thick paste to stained area. Scrub
vigorously. If stain is not removed,
reapply cleaner and repeat process.

Cooktop Surfaces
Several different fi nishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE
AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS,
OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.
Control Panel
DO NOT
use any cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives or stainless steel cleaners on any surface that contains
graphics. These products could remove the graphics from the control panel. Apply hot, soapy water to a soft clean cloth.
DO NOT
spray liquids directly onto the control panel.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off.
Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing fi rmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with
a liquid cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job.
DO NOT
use steel wool, abrasive cloths,
cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to
loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.
DO NOT
use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal
tool to scrape stainless steel.
DO NOT
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will
permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
