CARE AND CLEANING:

 Glass Cooktop

Heavy, Burned-On Residue

For models with Precision Cooktop Sensor on the 
left front element:

 ONLY use non-scratch pads to clean 

the surface of the Precision Cooktop Sensor. DAMAGE 
to the sensor surface may occur if you use scrub pads 
that are abrasive

.

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.

2. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately

a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the
soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor
scraper in order to remove the residue.

3. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few

drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned
residue area. Use the non-scratch cleaning pad to

remove any remaining residue.

4. For additional protection,

after all residue has been 
removed, polish the entire 
surface with ceramic 
cooktop cleaner and a 
paper towel.

The ceramic cooktop scraper and all recommended supplies 

are available through our Parts Center. See the Accessories 

and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

NOTE:

 Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Metal Marks and Scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across

your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the 
cooktop surface.

 These marks are removable using the ceramic 
cooktop cleaner with the non-scratch cleaning pad for 
Ceramic Cooktops.

2.  

If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black 
discoloration on the cooktop.

This should be removed immediately before heating 
again or the discoloration may be permanent. 

NOTE:

 Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness 

that would scratch the cooktop.

3.  

Be careful not to place aluminum baking sheets or
aluminum frozen entrée containers on a hot cooktop 
surface. It will leave shinny dots or markings on the 
cooktop surface. These markings are permanent and 
cannot be cleaned off.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Special care should be taken when removing hot substances 

to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface

. 

Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your 
cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when 
removing hot substances.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.

Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

1.  Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2.  Wearing an oven mitt:

a. 

Use a single-edge razor blade scraper to move
the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.

b. 

Remove the spill with paper towels.

3.  Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface

of the cooktop has cooled.

4.  Don’t use the surface units again until all of the

residue has been completely removed.

NOTE:

 If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has 

already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be 
replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
