CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT!
●
For your safety, switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall before any cleaning.
In this case, there will be no ‘Hot surface’ indication, but the cooking zones may still
be hot! Take extreme care.
●
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop.
●
Do not use scourers or any harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop, as
these can scratch the ceramic glass or stainless steel.
WHAT?
HOW?
IMPORTANT!
Light soiling on
glass after
every use
- fingerprints
and marks
- stains left by
non-sugary
liquids (eg
water, soup, oil)
●
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. A microfibre or
‘glass’ cloth is ideal for this.
●
Wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
Before cleaning, make sure
that the glass is a safe
temperature to touch.
Non-sugary
boilovers, spills
and food stains
on glass
- burnt-on food
or grease
- pasta water,
milk, soup
1
Remove the soiling with ceramic
cooktop cleaner using a sponge
or non-abrasive scourer suitable
for ceramic glass.
2
Remove any excess cleaner and
wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
3
Apply ceramic cooktop
conditioner or protector following
the instructions on the dispenser.
A microfibre or ‘glass’ cloth is
ideal for this.
●
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 cleaner
residue on the cooktop:
the glass may become
stained.
Hot sugary
spills, melted
plastic or
metal on glass
- sugar, sugary
syrups
- jams and
jellies
- vegetables or
vegetable water
with high sugar
content (peas,
sweetcorn,
beetroot)
- melted
aluminium foil
or plastic wrap
Remove these immediately with a
spatula or razor blade scraper
suitable for ceramic glass cooktops,
but beware of hot spills and surfaces:
1
Hold the blade or utensil at a 30
o
angle and scrape the soiling or
spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
2
Immediately clean the soiling up
with a dish cloth or paper towel.
3
Follow the instructions for ‘Light
soiling on glass after every use’
above.
●
Remove stains left by
melts and sugary food or
spillovers immediately. If
left to cool on the glass,
they may be difficult
to remove or even
permanently damage the
glass surface.
●
Cut hazard: the blade in
a scraper is razor-sharp
when the safety cover
is retracted. Use with
extreme care and always
store safely out of reach of
children.
