Cleaning the glass cooktop.
Glass surface-potential for permanent damage.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies , fudge,
candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause
pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not
covered by the warranty) unless the spill is
removed while still hot. Special care should
be taken when removing hot substances.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Metal Marks and Scratches
Be careful not to slide pots and pans
across your cooktop. It will leave metal
markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks are removable using the
Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner with the
Cleaning Pad for Ceramic Cooktops.
Cooktop seal
To clean the cooktop seal around the edges
of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few
minutes, then wipe clean with non abrasive
cleaners.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
pans.
Wearing an oven mitt:
a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper
to move the spill to a cool area on the
cooktop.
b. Remove the spill with paper towels.
Any remaining spillover should be left
until the surface of the cooktop has
cooled.
If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum
or copper are allowed to boil dry, the
overlay may leave black discoloration
on the cooktop.
This should be removed immediately before
heating again or the discoloration may be
permanent.
WARNING:
Carefully check the
bottom of pans for roughness that would
scratch the cooktop.
Don't use the surface units again until
all of the residue has been completely
removed..
NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass
surface has already occurred, the cooktop
glass will have to be replaced. In this case,
service will be necessary.
