CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT!
COOKTOP PARTS
Everyday soiling
on glass
(fingerprints,
marks, stains left
by food or non-
sugary spillovers
on the glass)
y Wipe with a soft, damp
cloth and mild detergent. A
microfiber or ‘glass’ cloth is
ideal for this.
y Wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
y Before cleaning, make sure
that the glass is a safe
temperature to touch.
Non-sugary
boilovers, spills
and food stains
on glass
(burnt on food
or grease, pasta
water, milk, soup)
1 Remove the soiling with ceramic
cooktop cleaner using a sponge
or non-abrasive scourer suitable
for ceramic glass.
2 Remove any excess cleaner and
wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
3 Apply ceramic cooktop
conditioner or protector
following the instructions on the
dispenser. A microfiber or ‘glass’
cloth is ideal for this.
y 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.
y Never leave cleaner
residue on the cooktop:
the glass may become
stained.
Hot sugary spills,
melted plastic or
metal on glass
(sugar, syrups,
jams and jellies,
acidic sauces
and marinades,
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° 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.
y 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.
y 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
y copper base
y aluminium base
y Follow the instructions for ‘Non-
sugary boilovers, spills and food
stains on glass’ above.
y For stubborn metallic stains,
try using a razor blade scraper
suitable for ceramic glass
cooktops, holding it at a 30°
angle.
y 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.
