CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.4 Cleaning the Ceramic Cooktop (Ceramic cooktop models only)
The crucial point in maintaining your cooktop is the cleanliness of the cooktop surface and the bases of your
cookware. Staining of the surface can occur from a reaction of chemicals and heat combined. Chemicals may be
present in cleaning or cooking residues not properly removed from cookware bases or the glass cooktop surface,
or liquids that boil over during use. Chemicals may also be present in some water depending on the hardness of
that water. Always remove food spills and grease spatters and metal rub-off from cookware prior to use.
Do not allow anything that melts – such as plastics, aluminium foil, sugar or foods containing sugar – to come into
contact with your ceramic cooktop surface when it is hot. Remove all food spills or melted substances from the
cooktop surface immediately, even if hot, taking necessary precautions to avoid injury from hot surfaces. Move
the substances to a cool area of your cooktop with a razor blade scraper and then remove them completely from
the surface. Once cool, clean the cooktop surface with a paper towel or clean cloth with a recommended cleaner.
Always remember to clean up the cleaner. After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped
dry with a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE: Even superficial dirt or grime not removed or allowed to build up may, in time, attack the surface resulting in
permanent damage.
