Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models) (continued) Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils 1) Aluminum foil Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances. 2) Aluminum utensils The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface. Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use. Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack. Things to Remember 1. AVOID using bleach and don't use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface. 2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. 3. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop. 4. If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call your authorized service technician immediately. 5. Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by such items. 6. Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below. a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately. b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop. c) Allow the cooktop to cool. Use and Care of Glass Surface Problem Fine "brown lines" (tiny scratches or abrasions which have collected soil) Metal marking (mark or black marks). Brown streaks and specks. Cause Coarse particles (salt, sand, sugar or grit) between bottom of cookware and cooktop that are not removed before cooking. Using incorrect cleaning materials. Sliding or scraping metal utensils or oven shelves across cooktop. Cleaning with a sponge or dishcloth that has been used for other kitchen tasks. To Prevent Clean cooktop after every use. Daily use of cleaner cream. Do not slide cookware across cooktop. Use cleaner cream with clean, damp paper towel. To Remove Tiny scratches are not removable. They can be minimized by continual use of cleaner cream. Such scratches do not affect cooking. Apply cleaner cream with dampened paper towel to a cooled surface. Use a small amount of cleaner cream with clean, damp paper towel. NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only). 9
