sure to use a new, sharp
razor in your scraper.

Possible Solution
Remove pan and turn off the
element.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold
o
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.
Soften by laying a damp
paper towel or sponge on
top of soil for about 30
minutes.
Use a plastic scrubber and
glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner or use the razor
blade scraper. Rinse and
dry.
Use a soapy sponge or cloth
to remove grease; rinse
thoroughly and dry. Apply
glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Pans with aluminum, copper
or stainless steel bases may
leave marks. Treat
immediately 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), Bar
Keeper's Friend® with a
dampened paper towel.
Rinse and reapply creme.
Failure to remove metal
marks before the next
heating makes removal very
difficult.
The minerals in some water
can be transferred onto the
surface and cause stains.
Use undiluted white vinegar,
rinse and dry. Recondition
with glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Type of Soil
Surface scratches -
Small scratches are to
be expected on the
glass surface, but do not
affect cooking. In time,
small scratches will
become smoother and
much less noticeable
with daily use of the
glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Possible Solution
Apply Cleaning Creme
before using to remove
sand-like grains and grit
such as salt and seasoning.
Can be reduced by using
pans with bases that are
smooth, clean, and dry
before use. Use
recommended glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner
daily on the cooktop.
