6. 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.
The glass should only be cleaned with
mild detergent and a soft cloth to
prevent any damage to the serigraphy
which will not be covered by warranty.
• 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.
Stubborn deposits
such as boilovers,
melts, and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately with a
fish slice, palette knife or razor
blade scraper suitable for Ceramic
glass cooktops, but beware of 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.
