6. 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 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.
Boilovers,
melts, and
hot sugary
spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately with a fish slice,
palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable
for Ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of
hot cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at
the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° 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 to 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 there is
liquid on them. Make sure you wipe the
touch control area dry before turning the
cooktop back on.
7. Hints and Tips
Problem
Possible causes
What to do
The cooktop cannot
Be turned on.
No power.
Make sure the ceramic hob is
connected to the power supply
and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power
outage in your home or area. If
you‟ve checked everything and the
problem persists, call a qualified
technician.
The touch controls are
unresponsive.
The controls are locked.
Unlock the controls. See section
„Using your ceramic cooktop‟ for
instructions.
The touch controls are
difficult to operate.
There may be a slight film of
water over the controls or you
may be using the tip of your
finger when touching the controls.
Make sure the touch control area is dry
and use the ball of your finger when
touching the controls.
The glass is being
scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or
cleaning products being used.
Use cookware with flat and smooth
bases. See „Choosing the right
cookware‟.
See „Care and cleaning‟.
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrating differently).
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
