Cleaning the cooktop seal
To clean the seal around the edges of
the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few
minutes, then wipe clean with a nonabrasive
cleaner.
Potential for permanent damage to the glass surface
•
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can
cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop. This is not covered under the
warranty. You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when
removing hot substances. Refer to the section below.
•
When using a scraper, be sure it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do
not use a dull or nicked blade.
Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastic
1.
Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
2.
Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge razor-blade scraper to move the spill
to a cool area of the cooktop. 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 indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, the cooktop
glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
Removing heavy, burned-on residue
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
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 a cleaning pad to remove any
remaining residue. (Do not scrape the
seal.)
4.
For additional protection, after all
residue has been removed, polish the
entire surface by applying ceramic
cooktop cleaner with a paper towel.
Removing metal marks and scratches
1.
Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave marks
on the cooktop surface. You can remove these marks by applying ceramic
cooktop cleaner with a 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. You should remove this
discoloration immediately or it may become permanent.
WARNING
Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop.
