Important!

Everyday soiling on glass

  • fingerprints and marks on the glass
  • stains left by non- sugary spillovers on the glass
  1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
  2. Apply 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 at the wall.
  • When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’ warning 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.

Burnt-on food
or grease, melts, sugary spillovers on glass

  • sugar, sugary syrups, jams and jellies
  • vegetables or vegetable water with high sugar content (peas, sweetcorn, beetroot)
  • melted aluminium foil
  • melted plastic wrap

Remove these immediately with a 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 razor blade at a 30o 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. As soon as the cooktop has cooled enough to safely touch, clean with cooktop cleaner following the instructions for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.
  5. Switch the power to the cooktop back on at the wall.
  • Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to burn on or cool, 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.

Spillover on the touch controls

 
  1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
  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 at the wall.
  • The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may not function while there is liquid on them.

Metallic stains on glass

metallic sheen caused by cookware with

  • copper base
  • aluminium base

Clean the cooktop after every use with cooktop cleaner or conditioner. Follow the instructions for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.

  • If the cooktop is not cleaned regularly and the stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the glass and no longer be removable.
