Cleaning the glass cooktop.

Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.

Metal Marks and Scratches

Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.

These marks are removable using the cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad suitable for glass surfaces.

If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop.

This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.

Glass surface—potential for permanent damage.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Our testing shows that if you are cooking high sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have a spillover, it can cause permanent damage to the glass surface unless the spillover is immediately removed.

Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

Wearing an oven mitt:

a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.

b. Remove the spill with paper towels.

Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.

Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.

NOTE: 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.
