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 or the included 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.

Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop.

WARNING

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 following section.

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.

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.
