Care and cleaning - ceramic cooktop
(CTE)
Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop
To clean your cooktop:
1
Remove baked-on spills while they are still warm, using the razor blade scraper supplied.
2
Wipe clean with a damp, soapy cloth.
3
Allow to cool, then apply ceramic glass cooktop cleaner to soiled areas.
4
Rub vigorously with a clean soft cloth or paper towel.
5
Wipe over with a damp cloth to remove any food or cleaner residue. The cooktop may become
stained if any of the cleaner is left on the cooktop.
6
Apply ceramic glass cooktop polish sparingly, and rub well with a clean soft cloth or paper towel
to ensure the whole cooktop surface is covered.
7
Polish with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Important!
Do not use abrasive sponges, or corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain removers.
When the safety cover is retracted the blade in the scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and
always store safely and out of reach of children.
Spillovers that require immediate attention
Anything that MELTS on the ceramic surface, or food spillovers with a high sugar content, may
cause pitting on the ceramic cooktop if they are left to cool there.
Clean these listed spillovers immediately
using the provided razor blade scraper.
Do not let them cool on the cooktop.
Clean and polish the cooktop after every spill. The polish protects the ceramic as it helps to
prevent spills bonding to the surface.
Metallic stains
Copper-based or aluminium saucepans may cause metallic staining. These stains show as a
metallic sheen on the cooktop. If the cooktop is not cleaned regularly and the stains are allowed
to burn into the surface, they may react with the ceramic glass and will no longer be removable.
Apply a ceramic glass polish after every use to help protect against stains.
