Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated
through.

Care and Cleaning
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.
