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 hob 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 hob
back on.
• When the power to the hob 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
hob: the glass may become stained.
Boil overs, melts, and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately with
a fish slice, palette knife or razor
blade scraper suitable for
Induction glass, but beware of
hot cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the hob
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 hob.
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 hob
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 hob back
on.
