Cooktop Care Chart
Type of Soil
Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, 
milk or tomato spills. 
Melted plastic film or foil. 
All these items require 
immediate removal. 
Remove only these 
types of spills while the 
surface is hot using the 
razor blade scraper. Be 
sure to use a new, sharp 
razor in your scraper.
Remove pan and turn off the 
element.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold 
scraper at 30
o
 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.
Burned-on food soil, 
dark streaks, and 
specks
Soften by laying a damp 
paper towel or sponge on 
top of soil for about 30 
minutes. 
Use a plastic scrubber and 
glass ceramic cooktop 
cleaner or use the razor 
blade scraper. Rinse and 
dry.
Greasy spatters
Use a soapy sponge or cloth 
to remove grease; rinse 
thoroughly and dry. Apply 
glass ceramic cooktop 
cleaner.
Metal marks: Iridescent 
stain
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), Bar 
Keeper’s Friend® with a 
dampened paper towel. 
Rinse and reapply creme. 
Failure to remove metal 
marks before the next 
heating makes removal very 
difficult.
Hard Water Spots - Hot 
cooking liquids dripped 
on surface
The minerals in some water 
can be transferred onto the 
surface and cause stains. 
Use undiluted white vinegar, 
rinse and dry. Recondition 
with glass ceramic cooktop 
cleaner.
Surface scratches - 
Small scratches are to 
be expected on the 
glass surface, but do not 
affect cooking. In time, 
small scratches will 
become smoother and 
much less noticeable 
with daily use of the 
glass ceramic cooktop 
cleaner.
Apply Cleaning Creme 
before using to remove 
sand-like grains and grit 
such as salt and seasoning.
Can be reduced by using 
pans with bases that are 
smooth, clean, and dry 
before use. Use 
recommended glass 
ceramic cooktop cleaner 
daily on the cooktop.
