General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave
soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
DO NOT use a
cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to
your health, and can chemically
damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Do not use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of the
cooktop. Damage to the finish or
parts could result.
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking
Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any
circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals,
care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil
dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking
it.

(Stainless Steel models only)
