Cleaning charts Type of Soil Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediatly can permanently damage the surface. Possible Solution Remove these types of spills while the surface is hot 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. 9 WARNING RISK OF INJURY The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect the blade when not in use. Replace the blade immediately when any imperfections are found. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks Greasy spatters Metal marks: Iridescent stain Hard water spots: Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface Surface scratches: Small scratches are common and do not affect cooking. They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. 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. Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove boilovers and stains before using the cooktop again. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before using to remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily. NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface. Maintenance This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning cream daily. 14
