ENGLISH CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE YOU BEGIN General cleaning for induction ceramic glass cooking surfaces is considerably easier than for cooking surfaces with radiant heating. NOTE: To prevent accidental activation of the controls, it is recommended that you set the CHILD LOCK feature before cleaning. IMPORTANT: • Cleaning agents must not come in contact with the hot ceramic-glass surface. All cleaning agents must be rinsed off thoroughly with clean water. • Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, coarse scouring cleansers, or abrasive pan cleaners. • Clean the ceramic-glass surface after each use when it is warm to the touch or cold. This will prevent spills from becoming burnt on. Remove water marks, grease and discoloration with a glass scraper and ceramic-glass cleaner. REMOVING HEAVY SOIL To remove food that has boiled over or stubborn spills, use a glass scraper. 1 Hold the glass scraper at an angle of about 45° to the ceramic-glass surface. 2 Remove soiling by sliding the blade across the area. 3 Use a ceramic glass cleaner as described in GENERAL CLEANING. NOTE: You can obtain glass scrapers and ceramicglass cleaners from your local hardware store. GENERAL CLEANING 1 When it is cool, wipe the ceramic-glass surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of ceramic glass cleaner. 2 Wipe dry with a clean cloth. 3 Once a week, thoroughly clean the entire ceramic- glass cooking surface with a commercially available ceramic-glass cleaner. 4 Then, wipe the ceramic-glass surface using a clean, soft cloth dampened with clean water, and polish dry with a clean lint-free cloth. PROBLEM SOILS 1 Remove sugar, melted plastic, aluminum foil, or other meltable materials with a glass scraper immediately and while still hot. Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to the cooktop surface. If the Cooking Zone has already cooled down, warm it up again. IMPORTANT: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot Cooking Zone. Use care and wear an oven mitt. 2 Then clean the cooktop normally when it has cooled down. NOTE: Scratches or dark marks on the ceramicglass surface caused by a pan base with sharp edges cannot be removed. However, they do not impair the function of the cooktop. 19
