Cleaning and Maintenance
Caring for your worktop
Important!
• Some heavy-duty and nylon scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your
worktop. Always read the label to check if your scourer is suitable for cleaning
ceramic glass worktops.
• Use ceramic glass cleaner on the worktop while it is warm to touch. Rinse and
wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. The worktop may become stained if
cleaning residue remains.
• Remove any food, spillovers or grease from the worktop while it is still warm
using a razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass surfaces.
• Do not use knives or any other sharp object for cleaning. Take extra care to
avoid damaging the seal at the edges of the ceramic glass surface. Do not use
cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
Metallic stains
Copper-based or aluminium cookware may cause metallic staining. These stains show
as ametallic sheen on the worktop. If the worktop is not cleaned after every use and
the stainsare allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the glass and will
no longer beremovable. To help prevent such damage, clean the worktop after every
use and apply aglass worktop conditioner.
Cleaning melts and spillovers
Anything that melts onto the ceramic glass surface or food spills with a high sugar
content maycause pitting of the ceramic glass surface if they are left there to cool.

• plastic wrap
• melted aluminum 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 a special razor blade worktop
scraper, taking care not to scratch the glass. Follow the steps below:
1. Turn the element off and carefully scrape the spill to a cool area of the worktop
surface.
2. Clean the spill up with a cloth or paper towel.
3. As soon as the worktop is cool enough to safely touch, clean with worktop
cleaner.
