Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Cooktop
General cleaning for induction ceramic glass cooking surfaces is considerably easier than for
cooking surfaces with radiant heating.
NOTE:
To prevent accidental activation of the controls, it is recommended that you set the
CHILD LOCK feature before cleaning.

Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot ceramic glass surface. All cleaning
agents must be rinsed off thoroughly with clean water.
Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, coarse scouring cleansers
or abrasive pan cleaners.
Clean the ceramic-glass surface after each use when it is warm to the touch or cold. This
will prevent spills from becoming burnt on. Remove water marks, grease and discoloration
with a glass scraper and ceramic glass cleaner.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
You may purchase glass scrapers and ceramic glass cleaners from your local hardware
store.
General Cleaning

When it is cool, wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of
ceramic glass cleaner.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Once a week, thoroughly clean the entire ceramic-glass cooking surface with a
commercially available ceramic glass cleaner.
Then, wipe the ceramic glass surface using a clean, soft cloth dampened with clean water
and polish dry with a clean lint-free cloth.
Removing Heavy Soil
1.

3.
Hold the glass scraper at an angle of about 45° to the
ceramic-glass surface.
Remove soiling by sliding the blade across the area.
Use a ceramic glass cleaner as described in GENERAL
CLEANING.
To remove food that has boiled over or stubborn spills, use a glass scraper.
Problem Soils
1. Remove sugar, melted plastic, aluminum foil, or other meltable materials with a glass
scraper immediately and while still hot. Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to
the cooktop surface. If the Cooking Zone has already cooled down, warm it up again.
IMPORTANT:
There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot
Cooking Zone. Use care and wear an oven mitt.
2.
Then clean the cooktop normally when it has cooled down.
NOTE:
Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass surface caused by a pan base with sharp
edges cannot be removed. However, they do not impair the function of the cooktop.
