If you choose to use a commercial stainless steel cleaner, please read the label to make sure it does
not contain chlorine compounds as these are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your
cooker.
Caring for your cooktop
• Some heavy-duty and nylon scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop. Always
read the label to check if your scourer is suitable for cleaning ceramic glass cooktops.
• Use ceramic glass cleaner on the cooktop while it is warm to touch. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth or paper towel. The cooktop may become stained if cleaning residue remains.
• Remove any food, spillovers or grease from the cooktop while it is still warm using a razor blade
scraper suitable for ceramic glass surfaces. Do not use knives or any other sharp object for
cleaning. Take extra care to avoid damaging the seal at the edges of the ceramic glass surface.
• Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
Metallic stains
Copper-based or aluminium cookware may cause metallic staining. These stains show as a metallic sheen on the
cooktop. If the cooktop is not cleaned after every use and the stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react
with the glass and will no longer be removable. To help prevent such damage, clean the cooktop after every use and
apply a glass cooktop conditioner.
Cleaning melts and spillovers
Anything that melts onto the ceramic glass surface or food spills with a high sugar content may cause pitting of the
ceramic glass surface if they are left there to cool. Examples include:
• plastic wrap
• melted aluminum foil
• sugar, sugary syrups, jams and jellies
• vegetables and vegetable water with a high sugar content eg peas, sweet corn, beetroot. Remove these spills
immediately with a special razor blade cooktop scraper, taking care not to scratch the glass. Follow the steps
below:
1. Turn the element off and carefully scrape the spill to a cool area of the cooktop surface.
2. Clean the spill up with a cloth or paper towel.
3. As soon as the cooktop is cool enough to safely touch, clean with cooktop cleaner.
