TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS/CERAMIC COOKTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
(See pages 41~43 for more information).
Before first use, clean the cooktop.
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will
keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent
damage.
If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean
the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to
prevent a tough cleaning. Using extreme care, wipe
spill with a clean dry towel.
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or
the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring
pads that can scratch the cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other
cleansers not specifically recommended for use on
glass-ceramic.
To Prevent Other Damages
Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar
content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this
happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning pages
41~43.)
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the
surface and pan.
Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
Do not cook food directly on the surface.
To Prevent Marks and Scratches
Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface
and pan. These items can mark or scratch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The
pans may leave marks which need to be removed
promptly.
(See Cleaning pages 41~43).
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean
before turning on to prevent scratches.
To prevent scratching or damaging to the glass-
ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt, or fats on the
cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean
cloth or paper towel before using.
Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface
since these may scratch.
To Prevent Stains
Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the
cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause
stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface will result in
result in a permanent stain.
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKTOP SURFACE
Cooktop Surface Notes:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first
few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
• Glass cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the elements are turned off. Turn the
elements off a few minutes before food is completely
cooked and use the retained heat to complete
cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the
cooking area will cool down enough to touch.
Because of the way the cooktop retains heat, the
elements will not respond to changes in the settings
as quickly as coil elements.
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan
from the cooking surface.
• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.
• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when
it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the
surface cools.
