Care and cleaning
What?
soiling examples
How? Important!
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.
Metallic stains on
glass caused by
cookware with
copper base
aluminium base
Follow the instructions for ‘Non-
sugary boilovers, spills and food
stains on glass’ above.
For stubborn metallic stains,
try using a razor blade scraper
suitable for ceramic glass
cooktops, holding it at a 30
o
angle.
If the cooktop is not cleaned
after every use and copper or
aluminium stains are allowed
to burn onto the surface,
they may react with the glass
and no longer be removable.
They don’t, however, affect
performance.

Immediately wipe off any
stainless steel cleaner if it is

may damage the appearance
of your cooktop. Always read
