How can I get melted plastic off of my flat glass top cooking range?

I accidently sat a plastic container of ice cream on a burner that was still hot yesterday and now I have melted plastic on the burner that I can't get off. I have misplaced the owners manuel so I can't call the company to see if they can help. So can someone here help me?

    Set an ice pack on the plastic, it will get hard and brittle, then use a plastic card, like an old credit card to scrap it off. Keeping half a credit card or an old ATM card that you've cut up is a great kitchen tool by the way.

    Melted plastic and spilled wax are two of the most frustrating household messes to clean up.

    Remove Melted Plastic

    Step 1:

    Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat residue until it starts to soften. Use a plastic scraper to scrape off plastic residue.

    Step 2:

    Apply a general purpose solvent to a cloth and apply to remaining residue. With a little elbow grease, the plastic will disappear.

    Step 3:

    Clean the remaining melted plastic by applying small amounts of oven cleaner directly on plastic. Let it sit for a few minutes and wipe away. Make sure to spot test area plastic is melted on before applying oven cleaner to ensure the oven cleaner won't cause more damage.

    ***********************

    Warnings:

    Make sure the oven is off before using the general purpose solvent in the oven. Solvent is highly flammable and could result in severe burns if applied to an active heat source.
