CLEANING
NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the
cooktop is cool (all residual heat indicators are off).
The
Cooktop
should be disconnected from the power outlet or turned off at
your isolation switch before commencing any cleaning process.
Do not use plastic, plastic coated or aluminium cooking equipment on this
Cooktop
.
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
All cookware used on this
Cooktop
should be rated for induction cooking by the
manufacturer. Cookware with rough bases should not be used as they can scratch the glass
ceramic surface. The base of the good cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.
Before use, make sure that cookware bases are clean and dry.
Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If possible, always
place the lids on the cookware. The base of any cookware used must not be smaller or
larger than the cooking zones; they should be the proper size as indicated below, so as not
to waste energy.
Before cleaning the cooktop, first isolate the cooktop from the power. Once done, ensure
that there is no residual heat stored in the
Cooktop
. The glass is very resistant to high
temperature and overheating. If there is residual heat stored in the
Cooktop
, the related
residual heat indicator lamp will be on. In order to avoid burns, let the
Cooktop
cool down.
Remove all spilt food and fat with a clean damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth. Rinse cloth
and wipe cooktop again until clean, then wipe the cooktop dry with a clean tea towel or dry
soft cloth.
If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally melted on the glass surface, they should be
immediately removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper specifically for glass. This will
avoid any possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or food containing sugar
that may be spilled on the cooktop. Enamelled steel, aluminium & copper will leave a residue
on the surface that should be removed immediately or permanent damage may occur.
In the event of other food melted on the cooktop surface, remove the dirt when the
Cooktop
has cooled down. Use cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel when cleaning the surface.
Do not use abrasive sponges to clean the glass surface. These materials may damage the
surface.
Do not use chemical detergents, sprays or spot removers on the glass surface. These
materials may cause fire or the glass colour to fade. Clean with a damp, warm, slightly soapy,
dishcloth.
WARNING: Using cookware that is too large can cause discolouration or damage to the
cooktop surface around the cooking zones, which is NOT covered under warranty.
