Care and Cleaning
What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on glass
(fingerprints, marks,
stains left by food or
non-sugary spillovers on
the glass)
1. Switch the power to the cooktop
off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while
the glass is still warm (but not
hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the cooktop
back on.
• When the power to the cooktop is
switched off, there will be no ‘hot
surface’ indication but the cooking
zone may still be hot! Take extreme
care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive
cleaning agents may scratch the
glass. Always read the label to check
if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the
cooktop: the glass may become
stained.
Boilovers, melts, and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately with a
fish slice, palette knife or razor
blade scraper suitable for Ceramic
glass cooktops, but beware of hot
cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the cooktop
off.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a
30° angle and scrape the
soiling or spill to a cool area of
the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with
a dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday
soiling on glass’ above.
• Remove stains left by melts and
sugary food or spillovers as soon
as possible. If left to cool on the
glass, they may be difficult to
remove or even permanently
damage the glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover
is retracted, the blade in a scraper
is razor-sharp. Use with extreme
care and always store safely and
out of reach of children.
