Cooktop Care and Maintenance
TYPE OF SOIL
Failure to remove these soils immediately can
permanently damage the surface.
• Remove pan and turn off the element.
• Wearing an oven mitt, angle the scraper slightly,
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 Cooktop Cleaning Creme ® .
• Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on
top of soil for about 30 minutes.
• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning
Creme ® or use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and
dry.
• Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease;
rinse thoroughly and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning
Creme
® .
• Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases
may leave marks. Treat immediately, after surface
has cooled, with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme. If this
does not remove the metal marks, try a mild abrasive
(Bon Ami
® , Soft Scrub ® without bleach) with a
dampened paper towel; rinse; and reapply creme.
Failure to remove metal marks before the
next heating makes removal very difficult.
• The minerals in some water can be transferred
onto the surface and cause stains. Use undiluted
white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition with
Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Remove boil overs and stains, before using the
cooktop again.
• Apply cleaning creme before using to remove sand-
like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning.
• Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are
smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use
recommended Cooktop Cleaning Creme daily on
the cooktop.
BE CAREFUL: Diamond (and other gemstone)
rings will scratch the surface.
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or foil. All these items
REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
Remove only these types of spills while the
surface is hot using the razor blade scraper. See
illustration on Page 14.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your scraper.
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 to be expected on the glass surface,
but do not affect cooking. In time, small scratches will
become smoother and much less noticeable with daily
use of the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
