Cleaning and Maintenance
General
Clean Cooktop regularly. A clean Cooktop looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
Carbonised grease on surface or between trivets will hinder transfer of heat from cooking surface to
food. This will result in loss of cooking efficiency.
DO NOT use water on trivets nor burners while these items are still hot as warping and
cracking may occur. Allow these items to cool down and then remove for cleaning
.
The entire trivets and burner caps can be dismantled for cleaning.
NOTE:
DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they could
corrode or damage the Cooktop.
In order to prevent the forming of rust on the trivets and burners, ensure that any detergent
or cleaning material has been completely removed after each cleaning.
