General Care & Cleaning
Do not use the following on the ceramic cooktop and display
lenses
(See Fig. 1):
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some
nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to
clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or
lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

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
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than other metals, care must
be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may perma­
nently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (Stainless steel models only)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and
cleaning are
required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Please
refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning
section.
IMPORTANT CLEANING NOTE:
Liquid, cleaning towel or objects on the control area of the cooktop could cause the
cooktop to display an error code or momentarily disable touch control operation.
