Type of Soil Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or
tomato spills. Melted plastic film or
foil. All these items REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Failure to
remove these immediately can
permanently damage the surface. 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
o 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.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks,
and specks 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.
Greasy spatters Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly and dry.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain 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.
Hard Water Spots
Hot cooking liquids dripped on
surface 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.
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. 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.
Be Careful: Diamond rings will scratch the surface.

This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily
cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning crème
