• Apply a small amount of the glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner. When
dry, buff surface with a clean
paper towel or cloth.
• Wipe off spatters with a clean,
damp sponge or paper towel.

if smudge remains; rinse.
• For suggestions on how to clean
hard to remove soil, see See
“Cleaning Techniques for Stub-
born Soil (Glass Ceramic Cooktop
Models)” on page 42
• Wait until the surface has completely
cooled before applying any type of
cleaner.
Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar
syrup, tomato products and milk immedi-
ately with the razor blade scraper (See
See “Cleaning Techniques for Stubborn
Soil (Glass Ceramic Cooktop Models)” on
page 42)
Igniters / Ceramics • Carefully wipe with a cotton swab
dampened with water, ammonia
or a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Formula 409
®
.
• Gently scrape soil off with a tooth-
pick.
• Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper
performance. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or
when the burner does not light even
though the electronic ignitors click.
• A damp igniter will prevent burner
from igniting. For proper burner per-
formance, keep ignitors clean and dry.
• Remove any lint that may remain after
cleaning.

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 burner.
• 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.
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 glass ceramic cleaning creme before using to remove sand-
like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning.
