How to remove the vignette?
How to remove the vignette with a scraper and a damp cloth:
One method to remove the vignette requires a damp cloth and a vignette scraper (a scraper for cleaning glass ceramic plates or a plastic piece with a thin edge can also be used). Moisten the vignette with a cloth, then carefully scratch it off the glass. Work slowly.
