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.
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.
