Safety Instructions

Cleaning the glass cooktop.

Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time. Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean. Use a mild detergent if needed.

Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.

Operating Instructions

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

Tips Care and Cleaning

For Heavy, Burned-On Soil…

Allow the cooktop to cool.

Apply a few drops of the cleaning cream to the (cool) soiled area.

Using a damp paper towel, rub the cream into the burned-on area. As with any burned-on spill, this may require some effort.

Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold scraper at a 30° angle against the glass cooktop.

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.

Buff with a dry paper towel.

Special Care

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

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.

Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover. Remove hot pans.

Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop. Scrape the hot spill to a cool area outside the surface unit.

With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled. Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps under Heavy Burned-On Soil to continue the cleaning process.

NOTE: If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond with the glass cooktop and leave a black discoloration. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.
