Care and cleaning
Important!
Switch the cooktop off at the wall before cleaning.
Cut hazard – When the safety cover is retracted, the blade in the scraper is razor-sharp. Use with
extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaning agents or heavy-duty scourers to clean your cooktop, as they
may scratch the glass surface and damage the stainless steel finish and the knobs.
Some nylon scourers may scratch the ceramic glass surface and damage the stainless steel finish
and the knobs. Always read the label to check if your scourer is suitable for cleaning ceramic glass
cooktops.
Commercial stainless steel cleaners containing chlorine compounds are corrosive and may
damage the appearance of your cooktop. Always read the label to check if your cleaner contains
chlorine.
Use cleaner on 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 is left on it.
Remove any food, spillovers or grease from the cooktop while it is still warm using the razor
blade scraper provided. Hold it at a 30
o
angle.
Cleaning metallic stains
Copper-based or aluminium saucepans may cause metallic staining. These stains show as a
metallic sheen on the cooktop. If the cooktop is not cleaned regularly and the stains are
allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the glass and will no longer be
removable. To help prevent such damage, apply a glass cooktop conditioner after every use.
Cleaning melts and spillovers
Anything that melts onto the ceramic glass surface or food spills with a high sugar content
may cause pitting of the ceramic glass surface if they are left there to cool.
Examples include:
plastic wrap
melted aluminium foil
sugar, sugary syrups, jams and jellies
vegetables and vegetable water with a high sugar content eg peas, sweet corn, beetroot.
Remove these spills immediately with the razor blade scraper provided, taking care not to
scratch the glass. Follow the steps below:
1
Turn the elements off and carefully scrape the spill to a cool area of the cooktop surface.
2
Clean the spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
3
As soon as the cooktop is cool enough to safely touch, clean with cooktop cleaner.
Cleaning the surround strip
To remove fingerprints and other marks, wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry with a lintfree
cloth. Brushed stainless steel (some models only) can also be cleaned with a commercial stainless
cleaner (see ‘Important’ above).
Do not use steel soap pads as this may dull the appearance of the stainless steel over time.
