Oven racks
If the racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and •
the finish will be dull. After the self-cleaning cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the
sides of the racks with wax paper or a clothing containing a small amount of cooking oil. This
will help the racks glide more easily into their tracks.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE GLASS COOKTOP
Normal daily use cleaning
Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective.
By following these steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop.
1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps
protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.
WARNING
DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those
recommended.
Removing burned-on residue
1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3. Using the cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.
4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.
5. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with
ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.
