MAINTENANCE
Burned-On Residue
To clean the glass-ceramic
Step. 1
First remove any burnt-on deposits
or spilled food from your glass-
ceramic cooking surface with a
suitable metal razor scraper (similar
to scraping paint off of your
windowpanes in your home - it will
not damage the decorated cooking surface). Hold the
scraper at approximately a 30˚ angle to the cooktop.
Step. 2
When the cooking surface has
cooled down apply a few dabs
(about the size of a dime) of an
approved cleaner in each burner
area and work the cleaning cream
over the cooktop surface with a
damp paper towel as if you were cleaning a window.
Step. 3
As a final step, clean with clear
water and wipe the cooktop surface
with a clean, dry paper towel.
Important:
If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves,
ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups,
chocolate, etc.), a plastic item or kitchen foil accidentally
melts on the hot surface of your cooktop, remove the
molten material
IMMEDIATELY
with a metal razor scraper
(it will
not
damage the decorated cooking surface)
while
the cooking surface is still hot
to avoid the risk of damage
to the glass-ceramic surface.
For your safety please wear
an oven mitt potholder while cleaning the hot cooking
surface.
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 or included cleaner with the 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.
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.
CAUTION
•
Cookware with rough
or uneven bottoms can
mark or scratch the
cooktop surface.
• Do not slide metal
or
glass across the
cooktop surface.
• Do not use cookware with any dirt build
up on bottom.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade. For your safety,
please wear an oven mitt potholder while using the
metal scraper.
