CLEANING AND CARE
• Do not use the razor blade for daily cleaning as it may wear
the pattern on the glass.
METAL MARKS OR BURNED ON RESIDUE
Metal marks and bur ned on r esidue should be removed
immediately after t he cooktop has cooled. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
1 Dampen a “scratchless” or “never scratch” pad
that is safe
for non-stick cookware.
The pattern and glass will be damaged
if the pad is not damp or is soiled or if another type of pad is
used.
Apply a cleaner cream for glass ceramic cooktops.
2 Scrub to remove as much soil as possible.
3 Apply the cleaner cream over the soil, cover with a damp
paper towel and let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour. Keep moist by
covering the paper towel with plastic wrap.
4 Scrub again and wipe off with another clean, damp paper
towel. Then wipe dry.
Note:
• Do not use alum inum foil on the cooktop.
• If pots or pans of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry,
permanent damage may affect the ceramic glass surface.
• Do not slide pots a nd pans across the cooktop surface.
• Cook ware with rough bottoms can mar k or scratch t he
cooktop surface.
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Be sure to use a new,
sharp razor scraper.
MICROWAVE DRAWER
INTERIOR
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the i nterior
surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or
spattering. To clean the interior sur faces, including drawer
sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE
ABRASIV E OR HARSH CLE ANERS OR SCOURING
PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.
MICROWAVE DRAWER GUIDES
Remove the food crumbs from the Microwave Drawer guides.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Microwave
Drawer opening and closing easily.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
ATTENTION The waveguide cover (located on the inside
top of the microwave drawer area) is made from mica, so
it requires special ca re. Keep the waveguide cover clean
to assure goo d microwave performance. Careful ly wipe
with a soft damp cloth any food spatters from t he surface
of the cover i mmediately after they occur. Built-up splashes
may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do
not remove the waveguide cover.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may rema in in the Microwave
Drawer. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grate d peel and
juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass
measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power.
Allow to set in the Microwave Drawer until cool. Wipe interior
with a soft cloth.
