Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while

The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your
health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack
and damage the surface.
Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the
following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup,
tomato products and milk immediately with the razor
blade scraper (see cleaning chart).
Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper
towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge
remains; rinse.
Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel
or cloth.

Wipe with the grain when cleaning. For moderate/heavy
soil, use BonAmi® or Soft Scrub® (no bleach).

Type of Soil
Dry sugar, sugar syrup,
milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or
foil. All these items
REQUIRE IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL. Failure to
remove these immedi-
atly can permanently
damage the surface.
Burned-on food soil,
dark streaks, and
specks
Greasy spatters
Metal marks:
Iridescent stain
Possible Solution
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.
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.
Use a soapy sponge or cloth
to remove grease; rinse thor-
oughly and dry. Apply glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
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.
