Maintenance
This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily 
cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning cream 
daily.
Type of Soil
Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted 
plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE 
REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediatly can per-
manently damage the surface.
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.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
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.
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) 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.
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
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.
Surface scratches:
Small scratches are common and do not affect cooking. 
They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use 
of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. 
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.
