Cleaning recommendations for the ceramic glass cooktop (continued)
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
•Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
•Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
•Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
• Aluminum foil |
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not |
use under any circumstances. |
• Aluminum utensils |
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower |
than that of other metals, care must be taken when |
aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry |
may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing |
to, or marking it. |
