CERAN GLASS CLEANING
WARNING: CLEAN COOK-TOP WITH CAUTION – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Some cleaning material recommended by manufactures for glass may contain an ingredient,
which can damage your CERAN stove top.
Generally, wipe up food spills and splatters before they burn onto the surface. This Should Be
Done immediately after the spills occurs. But do not get burned by touching a hot area.
The razor blade scrapper is very effective and will facilitate quick cleanup. To remove heavy
spills, splatters, or burned-on materials, scrape first with a razor blade (held at 30
°
angle).
If you accidentally melt anything on the stove top surface, such as plastic objects, Aluminum
Foil, sugar and foods with high sugar content, remove it immediately – while the stove top is still hot –
preferably with a razor blade scrapper before permanent damage to the stove top occurs.
