Maintaining your appliance Maintaining your appliance Removing heavy, burned-on residue 1. Allow the cooktop to cool. 2. Use a single-edge razor-blade scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to remove the residue. 3. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Use a cleaning pad to remove any remaining residue. (Do not scrape the seal.) 4. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface by applying ceramic cooktop cleaner with a paper towel. Removing metal marks and scratches 1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave marks on the cooktop surface. You can remove these marks by applying ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops. 2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. You should remove this discoloration immediately or it may become permanent. WARNING Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop. Cleaning the cooktop seal To clean the seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a nonabrasive cleaner. Potential for permanent damage to the glass surface • Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop. This is not covered under the warranty. You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when removing hot substances. Refer to the section below. • When using a scraper, be sure it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastic 1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans. 2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge razor-blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area of the cooktop. Remove the spill with paper towels. 3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled. 4. Don't use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed. NOTE If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary. 58 English NE63T8751_AA_DG68-01208A-00_EN+MES+CFR.indb 58 2020-03-27 2:47:51
