Cleaning guidelines
When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to
a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel.
For best results, use a glass cooktop cleaner such as the
Bosch Glass Cooktop Cleaner (part number 12010030),
which can be ordered online at www.bosch-home.com/
us/store (for U.S. customers only). Other cleaners
include Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® (without bleach), and
white vinegar.
Avoid these cleaners
Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine
▯
bleach. These ingredients may damage or
permanently stain the cooktop.
Cleaning charts
Type of Soil
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted
plastic film or foil. All these items require removal after
the cooktop has sufficiently cooled. Be extremely
careful as the cooking surface is hot. Failure to remove
these can permanently damage the surface.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
Greasy spatters
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Caustic cleaners such as Easy Off® may stain the
▯
cooktop surface.
Abrasive cleaners.
▯
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as
▯
Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch
▯
the surface.
Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can
▯
permanently stain the cooktop.
Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.

Possible Solution
Remove these types of spills after the surface has suffi-
ciently cooled 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.

RISK OF INJURY
The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect
the blade when not in use. Replace the blade imme-
diately when any imperfections are found. Follow
manufacturer'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
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) with a damp paper towel. Rinse
and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to
remove metal marks before the next heating makes
removal very difficult.
