Avoid Damage to Cooktop
• Do not allow plastic objects, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to meltonto
the hotcooktop. Melted materials can cause permanent damage tothe cooktop.
If you accidentally melt anything onto the cooktop, remove it immediately while
the cooktop isstill hot. Carefully, use a single edge razor blade held with a pot
holder to remove melted on material.
• Do not use aluminum foil or foil-type containers under any circumstances.
Aluminum foil will damage the cooktop if it melts onto the glass. If metal melts
on cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
• Do not use the glass-ceramic cooktop as a cutting board.
• Do NOT usethe abrasive cleansing or scouring pads (including metal scouring
pads), which will scratch the cooktop.
• Do NOT usechlorine bleach, ammonia, rust removers, oven cleaners, or other
cleanser not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
• Test cast ironware since all are not flat. Also be cautioned against possible
"impact damage" should the heavy cookpot be dropped on the glass-ceramic
surface.
Save on Clean-up Time
• Make sure bottoms of cookpots are always cleanand dry. (Soilfrom the cookpot
bottom canbe transferred to the cooktop surface.) Before usingcookpots on the
glass-ceramic cooktop for the first time, and periodically as needed, clean the
bottoms with scouring pads or other cleansers. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Make ita practice to wipe cooktop surfacewith a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before each use; dry thoroughly. Invisible spatters, dust specks, cleansers or
water can cause stains that appear after unit is heated. A sponge or dishcloth
which isnot clean will leave film andsoil laden detergent water which may cause
stains on surface after area is heated.
• When frying, use a spatter shield to reduce spattering.
• Use correct control settings and cookware large enough to hold food and liquid
to prevent boilovers and spattering.
• If a bad spillover occurs while cooking, spills may be cleaned from the cooktop
while it is hotto prevent atough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe
with a cleandamp towel. Be careful to avoid burnsfrom steam or handtouching
the hot cooktop.
