Removing Dried-on Debris

Follow the instructions below to remove dried sugar, sugar syrup, milk, tomato spills, melted plastic film, and foil with a glass scraper. These types of debris can be removed while the Induction Cooktop is still hot. For a guided tutorial, watch the video.

  • 1. Turn off the Induction Cooktop and remove any cooking pans and utensils.
  • 2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the scraper at a shallow angle (20 to 30°), being careful to not gouge or scratch the glass. Push the loosened soil off the heated area with the scraper.
  • 3. After the Induction Cooktop surface has completely cooled, remove the loosened soil with a soft towel.
