Special care should be taken when removing hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully and remove the soil while the spill is still hot.

PRECAUTIONS
•Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and abrasives which can damage the surface of your cooktop. Use only the recommended cleaning creme for proper cleaning and protection of your glass ceramic surface.
•If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal markings which appear as scratches. If this should happen, use the razor scraper and cleaning creme to remove these markings. Failure to remove these residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
•Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the recommended cleaning creme or full strength white vinegar.
•If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black discoloration. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.
•Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The recommended cleaning creme will remove this discoloration.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the recommended cleaning creme label.
