What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on
glass (fingerprints,
marks, stains left by
food or non-sugary
spillovers 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.
Boilovers, 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 ‘Every-
day soiling on glass’ above.
•
Remove stains left by melts
and sugary food or spillovers
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.
Spillovers 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.
