Glass cooktoP (continued)
cautioN
!
damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use scrub pad.
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 illus-
trated on previous page). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or
burned on soils.
sPecial dooR caRe instRuctions
Most oven doors contain glass that can break.
Read the following recommendations:
1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an
increased risk of breakage at a later time.
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 difficult 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 towels, as they can
leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause
discoloration.
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not
use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic
cooktop under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than
that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans
are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil
be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass sur-
face, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
