General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

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 cool(top, 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 cool(top.

Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cool(top which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
