CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet, and allow the glass surface to cool before
cleaning*.
•
Clean your CERAN® cooking surface regularly, preferably after each time you use it.
•
*Important:
If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, etc.), a plastic item or kitchen
foil accidentally melts on the hot glass surface of your range, do not wait for the glass surface to cool. Remove the
molten material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of
damage to the CERAN® surface. For your safety please wear a mitt potholder while cleaning the hot cooking surface
•
The longer you cook with a spill or food residue on the cooking surface, the harder it will be to remove. Some cleaners
will produce harmful fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet sponges or cloths used to wipe spills from a hot
cooking surface can cause steam burns.
•
Remove any burnt-on deposits or spilled food from your CERAN® cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper
(similar to scraping paint off your windowpanes in your home). Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to the
cooktop. For your safety, please wear a mitt potholder while using the metal scraper.
•
Then, clean the cold glass surface. Normal food residues can be removed with
a soft, damp cloth or untreated nylon
mesh pad and some mild dishwashing liquid or baking soda. Scrub gently, rinse with a damp cloth, and wipe dry with
a clean cloth or clean, dry paper towel. OR, when the cooking surface has cooled down, apply a few dabs (about the
size of a dime) of an approved cleaner on the burner area and work the cleaning crème over the cooktop surface with
a damp paper towel as if you were cleaning a window.
The following cleaners are approved for CERAN® cooking
surfaces:
Weiman® Cook Top® Cleaning Cream, Golden Ventures Cerama Bryte, Whirlpool Cooktop Cleaner. As a
final step, clean with clear water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry paper towel. Special cleaning agents
to treat the stainless steel casing are also available.
•
DO NOT SUBMERGE THE RANGE IN WATER OR LET THE PLUG COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER OR OTHER
LIQUID! Make sure that no liquids or steam seep into the underside of the range housing.Use no steam jet cleaning
appliances. Make sure no water or steam may infiltrate the appliance from below either.
•
Never use
oven sprays, stain-removers, ammonia, chlorine bleach, abrasive scouring agents, steel wool, sharp,
scratchy objects or treated nylon mesh pads for cleaning.
•
Avoid scratches on the glass cooking surface caused by pointed or sharp objects. Minor scratches resulting from daily
use are quite harmless and only impair the visual effect. Protect the glass plate against breakage by falling objects.
•
Lubrication is not required.
•
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
