chemically
damage
the ceramic
glass
surface.

Use a paper towel or use a non-abraslve
plastic
type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop
surface.

leaving
no residue.
For heavy,
burned

IMPORTANT
NOTE:
Damage
to the ceramic
glass cooktop
may occur if you
use an abrasive

products
that have been
specifically
designed
for ceramic
glass cooktop.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed
immediately
if spilled or melted onto the ceramic
cooktop
surface.
Permanent
damage
(such as pitting
of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately.
After turning
the surface elements
OFF, use a razor blade
scraper or a metal
spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow
the cooktop
to cool, and use the same method
for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following
on the ceramic
glass cooktop:
*
Do not use abrasive
cleaners
and scouring pads, such as metal
and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,
making it more
difflcult to clean.
" Do not use harsh cleaners,
such as chlorine
bleach, ammonia
or oven
cleaners,
as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
*
Do not use dirty sponges,
cloths or paper
