Cleaning charts
Type of Soil
Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or
tomato spills. Melted plastic film or
foil. All these items REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Failure to
remove these immediately
can
permanently
damage the surface.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Hard Water Spots
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Surface scratches
Small scratches are common and do
not affect cooking. They become
smoother and less noticeable with daily
use of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Remove these types of spills while the
surface is hot using the razor blade
scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in the
scraper.
Remove pan and turn off the element.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30 °
angle, using care not to gouge or scratch
the glass. Push soil offthe heated area.
After the surface has cooled, remove the
residue and apply the glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner.
Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless
steel bases may leave marks. Treat
immediately after surface has cooled with
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this
does not remove the marks, try a mild
abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without
bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse
and reapply creme. Failure to remove
metal marks before the next heating
makes removal very difficult.
Minerals in some water can be transferred
onto the surface and cause stains. Use
undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. Remove boilovers and stains,
before using the cooktop again.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner
before using to remove sand-like grains
and grit such as salt and seasoning.
Can be reduced by using pans with bases
that are smooth, clean, and dry before
use.
Use recommended glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner daily.
Be Careful: Diamond rings will scratch
the surface.
