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.
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 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.
