4. CARE AND CLEANING
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
0
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 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.
