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 a 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.

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.

Cooktop Seal

To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass, 

lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean 

with nonabrasive cleaners.
