Cleaning and Maintenance
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 Induction glass
cooktops, being careful of
the 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
‘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.
