with a clean, damp cloth (no detergent), taking care to
avoid burning fingers. If there is detergent in the cloth,
you may leave a layer of soil-laden film on the cooktop
surface, which can result in discolouration next time the
element is switched “on”. If a detergent film builds up,
use a ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner.
Care and Cleaning
To keep the exterior chrome trim in spotless condition,
wipe with a warm soapy cloth.
Do not clean hot chrome
surface with a soapy cloth, use automotive chrome
cleaner on cool surface.
See page 28 for complete cleaning guide.
Caution -
Product Damage Hazard
Before using any cleaners, ensure that it is suitable for
application on chrome trim.
Make sure that the glass ceramic surface has cooled down
before applying any cleaning materials.
1. Saving on Cleaning Time
• Make sure the bottom of pots and pans and cooking area
are clean and dry.
Select correct heat settings and use saucepans large
enough to accommodate food and liquid to eliminate
boilovers and splattering.
• Wipe up food spills and splatters from adjacent heating
areas before cooking.
• Do not drag or slide pots along the surface.
2. Daily Care
• Use a ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner, available
at supermarkets and major department stores. As the
cleaner-conditioner cleans, it leaves a protective coating
of silicone on the smooth surface, which helps prevent
scratches and abrasions in which food particles can
collect. It also helps prevent the build-up of mineral
deposits, and will make future cleaning easier.
• When cool, apply a dab of cleaner-conditioner in the
center of each heated area to be cleaned.
• For normal cleaning start with about 1 ml (1/8 tsp) of
cleaner-conditioner, and apply more if needed.
• Clean unit with a damp clean paper towel. To remove
more stubborn spots, use a slightly dampened non-
impregnated plastic or nylon pad specially made for
non-stick utensils.
• Wipe off this application with another clean, damp paper
towel, and wipe dry.
• Use liquid cleansers to remove any discoloration,
especially in hard water areas. A non-impregnated
plastic or nylon pad specially made for non-stick utensils
may also be used with these cleaners. Do not apply
excessive pressure while rubbing. This could cause
scratches over time.
• Apply cleaner-conditioner and polish with paper towel
or a soft dry cloth.
• Any smearing or hazing on the surface may be removed
with a lightly dampened paper towel, and polished with
a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use a sponge or a dishcloth. They may leave
a film of soil-laden detergent on the heating area
which may turn brown and resemble a discolouration
the next time the area is heated. If that should
happen, cleaner-conditioner will remove it.
Warning
Personal Injury Hazard
•
NOTE:
If a wet paper towel is used to remove spillovers
from warm cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns.
• Never mix different household cleaning products.
Chemical mixtures may interact, with objectionable or
even hazardous results.
Do Use
Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be used
regularly to clean and protect glass-smooth top cooking
surface. If you run out, you may temporarily use baking
soda as a cleaning powder.
Do Not Use
1. Household detergents and bleaches.
2. Impregnated plastic or nylon pads.
3. Soap pads; these will scratch and mark.
4. Household abrasive powders except where specified;
these may scratch depending on the pressure applied in
use.
5. Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads.
These are caustic cleaners, and may etch the surface.
6. Rust stain or bath and sink stain removers, as these will
mark and etch the surface.
7. Metal scrubbers.
How To Deal With Burned-On Spots
(Model 1954)
1. Make sure area to be cleaned is warm to the touch.
2. The careful use of a stainless steel razor blade held at
approximately 30 degrees to the surface can be used to
remove stubborn burned-on spots from the surface.
3. Use cleaner-conditioner, and finally wipe the cooktop
clean with a paper towel or damp cloth.
If after the use of recommended materials there are some
persistent stains or marks on the cooktop, the unit should
be cleaned using a liquid cleanser. This will remove any
accumulated residue of cleaner-conditioner, and if applied
with a non-impregnated plastic or nylon pad for non-stick
pans, for at least three to four minutes, it will also take
off the film caused by salts and minerals before it has an
opportunity to discolor or develop into a problem. Finish
off with a touch of cleaner-conditioner, polish to a high
lustre.
