It is safe to place hot cookware (from the oven or surface) on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool.

Avoid placing utensils that could become hot or plastics that could melt on the surface element until it has cooled completely.
■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
■Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.
