PROBLEM CAUSE REMOVAL

Brown streaks

and specks

Cleaning with sponge or cloth containing

soiled detergent water

Normal cleansing (provided above)

Blackened,

burnt on spots

Spatters or spillovers on a hot cooking area or

accidental melting of plastic like a bread bag

Clean area with smoothtop cleaner conditioner

with clean damp paper towel, nonabrasive nylon

pad, or scouring brush.

If spot is not removed, on cool cooktop carefully

scrape area with a safety scraper held at a 30-

degree angle.

Fine brown gray

lines, fine

scratches or

abrasions

Course particles, like salt, become embedded

in top if trapped under pan. Using abrasive

cleaning materials. Scratches from rough

ceramic, glass, or ceramic coated cookware.

Fine scratches are not removable but can be

minimized by daily use of smoothtop cleaner

conditioner.

Smearing or

streaking

Using too much smoothtop cleaner conditioner

or using a soiled dish cloth.

Follow label instructions carefully. See Routine

Cleaning, above.

Metal or

silver/gray

marks

Sliding or scraping metal utensils across top.

Remove marks before top is used again. If marks

are not removed by normal cleaning, use a safety

scraper at a 30° angle and cooktop cleaner

conditioner to carefully scrape off the mark.

Pitting or flaking

Boilovers of sugar syrup on a hot smoothtop

can cause pitting if not removed immediately.

Turn control to LOW setting. Wipe up excess spill

with dry cloth. Allow top to cool and carefully

scrape area with a safety scraper held at a 30-

degree angle.

Hard water

spots

Condensation from cooking can cause

minerals found in water and acids in food to

drip onto smoothtop and cause gray deposits.

Spots are often so thin they appear to be in or

under smoothtop.

Mix smoothtop cleaner conditioner with water and

apply thick paste to stained area. Scrub

vigorously. If stain is not removed, reapply cleaner

and repeat process

make sure the surface is cool and put a small

amount of white vinegar on the spot and let it sit a

few minutes. Take a nonabrasive nylon pad and

gently rub the spot. Wipe off any excess with a

damp paper towel, then dry.

Care and Cleaning (cont'd)

For routine cleaning, allow top to cool before cleansing. Wash surface with a dampened cloth and smoothtop cleaner

conditioner. Use another clean damp paper towel to wipe off the cleaner. Use a dry paper towel, buff the smoothtop

to make sure all the cleaner conditioner is removed. The smoothtop cleaner conditioner provides a thin layer of

protective polish that prevents scratching. Do not use a harsh cleanser or steel wool pad. For specific problems, see

below.
