What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on glass
(fingerprints, marks, stains
left by food or non-sugary
spill overs 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.
Boil overs, 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 at the
wall.
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 spill overs 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.
Spill overs on the
touch controls
1 Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2 Soak up the spill
3 Wipe the touch control area with a clean
damp sponge or cloth.
4 Wipe the area completely dry with a paper
towel.
5 Switch the power to the cooktop back on.
• The cooktop may beep and turn itself off,
and the touch controls may not function while
there is liquid on them. Make sure you wipe
the touch control area dry before turning the
cooktop back on.
Care and Cleaning
Problem
Possible causes
What to do
The cooktop cannot
Be turned on.
No power.
Make sure the cooktop is connected to the
power supply and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power outage in your
home or area. If you’ve checked everything and
the problem persists, call a qualified technician.
The touch controls are
unresponsive.
The controls are locked.
Unlock the controls. See section
‘Using your ceramic cooktop’ for instructions.
The touch controls are
difficult to operate.
There may be a slight film of
water over the controls or you
may be using the tip of your
finger when touching the
controls.
Make sure the touch control area is dry and
use the ball of your finger when touching the
controls.
The glass is being
scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or
cleaning products being used.
Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See
‘Choosing the right cookware’.
See ‘Care and cleaning’.
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrating differently).
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
