Cleaning Guidelines

Table 3: Special Care Chart
Type of Soil
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or foil. All these items
REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
Remove only these types of spills while the sur-
face is hot using the razor blade scraper.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your scraper.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
Greasy spatters
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Hard Water Spots
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
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 Cooktop Cleaning
Creme.
Possible Solution
Failure to remove these soils immediately can permanently dam-
age the surface.
• Remove pan and turn off the element.
• Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30
not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off of heated area.
• After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and apply the
Cooktop Cleaning Creme®.
• Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil
for about 30 minutes.
• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning Creme® or use
the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.
• Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thor-
oughly and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme®.
• Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may
leave marks. Treat immediately, after surface has cooled, with
the Cooktop Cleaning Creme. If this does not remove the
metal marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® with-
out bleach) 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 sur-
face and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and
dry. Recondition with Cooktop Cleaning Creme. Remove
boilovers and stains, before using the cooktop again.
• 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 Cooktop Clean-
ing Creme daily on the cooktop.
Be Careful: Diamond rings will scratch the surface.
