CARE AND CLEANING
General
Heat transfer is adversely affected if the cooktop
is dirty, so make a habit of always cleaning the
cooktop with a damp cloth after use.
• Always keep the cooktop clean. Immediately
remove any food spills or fat from the
ceramic surface using a cloth or a straight-
edged scraper. Any remains will cause smoke
development and can cause a fire.•
• Make sure the cooktop has cooled before
cleaning. The residual heat indicator lamp
should be switched off.
• Remember to clean the cooktop at least once a
week even if it appears clean.
• Do not use a steam or high pressure cleaner on
this appliance
NB:
Use only cleaners intended for ceramic cooktops.
Never use abrasive cleaners, oven cleaners, steel
wool or abrasive sponges.
Clean a dirty cooktop as follows:
1. Remove spills and other larger stains with a
straight-edged scraper.
2. Once the residual heat indicator has switched
off, the ceramic cooktop cleaner can be applied.
Shake the bottle and spray a few thin lines over
the cooktop. Rub clean with a damp cloth.
3. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth, as any cleaner
that is left can burn and stick to the cooktop,
leaving stains that are difficult to remove. Dry
the cooktop with kitchen paper to achieve a
shiny finish.
NB:
If the surface is cracked, turn off the appliance
immediately to avoid any potential electric
shock.
