instructions carefully and remove soil while

Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Ceramic Cooktop
1 Turn off all surface units affected by the
spillover. Remove hot pans.
2 Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper
at a 30° angle to the cooktop and scrape hot
spill to a cool area outside the surface unit.
3 With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper
towel to remove any excess. Any spillover
remaining should be left until the surface of
the cooktop has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit
until all of the spillover has been removed.
Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue
the cleaning process.
• 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 cream to remove these
markings. Failure to remove these residues
immediately may leave permanent marks.
• Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals
and abrasives which can damage the surface
of your cooktop. Use only the recommended
cleaning cream for proper cleaning and
protection of your glass cooktop.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
