CAUTION

Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while 

the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. 

The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your 

health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack 

and damage the surface.

Clean the surface when it is completely cool, with the 

following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, 

tomato products and milk immediately with the razor 

blade scraper (see cleaning chart).
Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper 

towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge 

remains; rinse.
Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop 

cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel 

or cloth.

Cleaning guidelines
When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to 

a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and 

buff with a clean dry towel.
For best results, use cleaners such as glass ceramic 

cooktop cleaner, BonAmi®, Soft Scrub® (without 

bleach), and white vinegar.

Avoid these cleaners

Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine 

bleach. These ingredients may damage or 

permanently stain the cooktop.

Caustic cleaners - cleaners such as Easy Off® may 

stain the cooktop surface.

Abrasive cleaners.

Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as 

Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.

Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch 

the surface.

Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can 

permanently stain the cooktop.

Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.

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.
