Cleaning
Caring for your cooktop
Use cleaner on the cooktop while it is warm to touch. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel. The cooktop may become stained if cleaning residue remains.
Remove any food, spillovers or grease from the cooktop while it is still warm using the razor
blade scraper provided held at a 30° angle.
WARNING!
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.
Metallic stains
Important!
Some heavy-duty scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop.
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. The
use of a glass cooktop conditioner will help prevent damage if applied after every use.
Spillovers
Clean the following spillovers immediately, using the razor blade scraper provided.
Do not let sugar, jam, plastic, plastic wrap and aluminium foil melt onto the cooktop surface.
Clean these immediately using the razor blade scraper provided.
Anything that melts onto the glass surface may cause pitting if it is left to cool before removing.
Pitting may also occur when a food with a high sugar content is spilt onto the cooktop and
not cleaned up immediately.
Turn the element off, carefully scrape the spill to a cool area of the cooktop surface and clean up
with a dish cloth or paper towel.
As soon as the cooktop is cool enough to safely touch, clean with cooktop cleaner.
Remember some foods e.g. peas and swede have a naturally high sugar content.
Spillovers - touch control models
If you have a spillover on the controller area, the unit may beep and turn itself off. The controller
may not function while it has liquid on it. We recommend turning the product off at the wall
before cleaning the controller area and turning back on.
Be careful to dry the controller area with a paper towel after cleaning as the presence of moisture
may confuse the controller.
