Industry wide testing shows that if you are have a spillover from high sugar mixtures or melted plastic you should:

• Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
• Wear an oven mitt.
• Use a razor scraper to move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop. (Hold the razor at about a 45 degree angle to scrape)
• Remove the spill with paper towels.
• Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
• Do not use the surface units again until all residue has been completely removed.
