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 kitchen-safe 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
palette knife or razor blade scrape
suitable for ceramic glasstops, but
beware of hot cooking zone surfaces.
1. Switch the power to the cooktop
off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade at a 30°-45°
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 - 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 liquid is on them. Make
sure you wipe the touch
control area dry before
turning the cooktop back on.
