Cleaning guidelines

When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to
a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel.
For best results, use cleaners such as glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner, BonAmi®, Soft Scrub® (without
bleach), and white vinegar.

Possible Solution
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. Wear-
ing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30° angle, using care
not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the
heated area. After the surface has cooled, remove the
residue and apply the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
WARNING

RISK OF INJURY
The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect
the blade when not in use. Replace the blade imme-
diately when any imperfections are found. Follow
manufacturer's instructions.
Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of
soil for 30 minutes. Use a plastic scrubber and glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner or use the razor blade scraper.
Rinse and dry.
Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse
thoroughly and dry. Apply 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 glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to
remove metal marks before the next heating makes
removal very difficult.
Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the sur-
face 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 sea-
soning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with
bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use
recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface.
