To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow
these instructions:
•
Sugar spills and soils (such as jellies and
candy syrups) can cause pitting on the
cooktop if not removed while the ceramic
surface is still warm. Remove as soon as
possible after the spill occurs.
•
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting
board.
•
Do not allow anything that could melt
(such as plastic or aluminum foil) to come
in contact with the surface while it is hot.
• Do not use the ceramic cooktop to cook
popcorn that comes in prepackaged
aluminum containers. The container could
leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that
cannot be removed completely.
• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,
or glass cleaning products with ammonia.
These could damage the cooktop surface.
•
Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful with
heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans
above the cooktop.
