16 General Care & Cleaning

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils must 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 on previous

page). 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

discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals.

Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil

dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic

glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts.

Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section in

this Use & Care Manual.
