Possible Solution
Minerals in some water can
be transferred onto the sur-
face and cause stains. Use
undiluted white vinegar, rinse
and dry. Recondition with
glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. Remove boilovers
and stains before using the
cooktop again.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner before using to
remove sand-like grains and
grit such as salt and season-
ing. Scratches can be
reduced by using pans with
bases that are smooth, clean,
and dry before use. Use rec-
ommended glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner daily.
