Ceramic Cooktop
To keep your Cooktop looking attractive, it is important to clean it regularly.
Normal wear and tear will occur but this will not affect the performance of your Cooktop.
Prior to cleaning your Cooktop, remove any food, spillovers, grease or staining with the razor
blade scraper supplied. Clean the Cooktop while it is still warm to touch. Rinse and wipe dry
with a clean cloth or paper towel. The Cooktop may become stained if cleaning residue
remains.
Cleaners
Mica, Cera-clean, Steel Fix and Hillmark Ceram-X are the recommended cleaners for Ceramic
Cooktop. Do not use abrasive sponges of any type.
Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain removers should not be used.
Spillovers
Clean the following spillover immediately using the razor blade scraper provided. Do not
let these cool on the cooktop. If allowed to cool, pitting will occur on the surface.
Sugar and sugar syrup
Jam
Melted plastics and plastic wrap
Melted aluminium foil
Anything that MELTS on the ceramic surface may cause pitting if it is left to cool before
removing.
Pitting may also occur when a food with a high sugar content is spilt on the cooktop and not
cleaned up immediately.
Remember that some vegetables, e.g. peas and swedes have a naturally high sugar content.
The use of a conditioner will help prevent molten material bonding with the glass ceramic
causing pitting. The spill must still be removed immediately. The conditioner will only
protect the cooktop for one use and must be re-applied after every use.
Wipe up splashes and spills using a clean damp cloth or damp paper towels.
Metallic Stains
These show as a metallic sheen on the smoothtop. They may be caused by copper-based or
aluminium saucepans. For regular use in removing metallic stains, use Mica, Cera-clean,
Steel Fix and Hillmark Ceram-X.
If the stain is allowed to burn onto the surface, it may react with the glass ceramic and will no
longer be removable.
