Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage. If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel. Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time. Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop. Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic. To Prevent Marks and Scratches Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface. Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or scratch the top. Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly." (See Cleaning pages 29~30.) Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches. To prevent scratching or damaging to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt, or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using. Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch. • Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use. • Always use oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as cookware and plates will be hot. • When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. • Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. • Food should be kept in its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality. • Do not warm food on the warming zone for more than 2 hours. • Placing uncooked or cold food on the warming zone could result in foodborne illness. To Prevent Stains Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated. Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain. To Prevent Other Damages Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning pages 29~30.) Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan. Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. Do not cook food directly on the surface. -8-
