Any hints for getting the last of the sticky residue from the paper insert off the pan? Fingernails and washing didn't work.

I used Dawn dish detergent straight up. Let it sit on the spot for awhile then used a plastic mesh scrubber and a little force. Worked like a charm.

Like another reviewer mentioned, I use Goo Gone. Pour a couple of drops directly into the pan. I rubbed the glue off using my fingers, which took a couple of minutes, then wiped all of the goo gone out with a paper towel, then washed the pans with hot water and dish soap.

Thanks for asking this. After 20 minutes of aggravation I'm ready to return this stupid pan. Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who had trouble with this.

Any petroleum-based solvent, such as lighter fluid (aka: naphtha) will dissolve most label glues, then a simple wash with a dish detergent will rid the item of the solvent.

Use your hairdryer on the warmest setting. A few seconds of blowing hot air on the label and it will come right off, as will the adhesive. Then just wash in hot soapy water. This works on anything that is not heat sensitive such as certain types of plastic. Also, do not leave the heat aimed at one spot too long or it will burn. Keep moving the hairdryer around the entire surface of the label to loosen all of the adhesive.

Put some oil on it and heat up in oven, then soap and hot water should get it off after that.

Scrape it off with your fingernail or you can use some soft scrub & water. Has worked for me.

If you really want to remove the residue then use glass stove top cleaner. Apply the cleaner and let it sit and and then clean it off, repeat if needed.

Take the tray out of the bottom and turn the printer on it's front side. Use some rubbing alcohol and a towel to clean the rubber paper pickup in the middle. Problem solved--for awhile.

Full the sticker off. What remains can be scraped with a razor and washed with a little alcohol to remove the glue residue.

I gave up after trying nail polish remover, acetone, goo-gone. After it dried, I used steel wool and soap. Some came off but ultimately I just left it there on my fingertips and it finally wore off a few days later. Good luck and wear gloves next time.

I just made sure I cleaned the area very well with Windex. I peeled the the paper off, the hand print should stay on the clear paper. Then I placed it on the surface and carefully rolled it down and flattened it with a credit card.

I agree with previous answer soften with hot water then use gritty substance and plastic spatula to scrape Good luck!

I heated the label with a hairdryer, then peeled it off cleanly. I don't know if heating the residue will come off if heated with a hairdryer.

You could also try nail polish remover. Dab the spot until it is dissolved and then launder.

After I pulled off as much of the original label as I could I used duct tape on the sticky part. Just press the duct tape against the sticky part and pull off. I did it in sections and it came right off without leaving any sticky residue. I had tried other things but this was the only thing that worked. Hope this helps.

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

Peel as much of the sticker off as you can then use a little vegetable oil and rub it thru then wash in hot soapy water

I was fortunate and didn't have any residue left. Try using a little goo gone. Don't really have anything to lose if you can't use it all sticky

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

The BEST way is to wipe it out w/paper towels upon rinsing. Avoid "scratchy" cleaners always, but you can remove past buildup w/those "safe for Teflon" dishwashing sponges. Hope this helps!

I usually soak the pan in hot soapy water and use a vegetable brush to clean mine. The other suggestions that people have offered sound good, too. If you continue to have problems, contact Le Creuset for additional ideas.
