• Do notallowplastic objects,sugar,or foodswith highsugar contentto melt ontothe
hctcooktop. Melted materials can cause permanent damage to the cooktop. Ifyou
accidentally melt anythingonto the cooktop, or a sugary solution boils over, remove
it immediately while the cooktop is still hot. Carefully, use a single edge razor blade
held with a pot holder to scrape the melted material or sugary boilover to a cooler
area of the cooktop. Use several layers of paper towel to wipe up the spillover, being
careful not to bum yourself. When the element has cooled, use the razor blade to
scrape off the remaining soil and clean as you would for heavy spills. (See p. 16.)
• Do not use aluminum foil or foil-type containers under any circumstances. Alumi-
num foil will damage the cooktop if it melts onto the glass. If metal melts on cook'top,
do not use. Call an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
