Melts and spills that require immediate attention
Anything that melts onto the ceramic glass surface or food spills with a high sugar content may cause pitting of the ceramic glass surface if left there to cool. Remove these spills immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or cooktop scraper. Take care when working around the hot surfaces and ensure you do not scratch the glass or damage the trim rings or pan support pins. Examples of melts and spills requiring immediate attention include:
melted plastic wrap melted aluminium foil
sugar, sugary syrups, jams and jellies
vegetables and vegetable water with a high sugar content eg peas, sweet corn, beetroot.
Cleaning the ceramic glass
For best results, do not let spills and stains become burnt onto the ceramic glass. Clean the cooktop after every use. Simply lower the cooled pan supports and the control dials and wipe the cooktop with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent. A microfibre cloth is ideal for this task. Most soiling is very easy to remove because the glass does not get as hot as an electric ceramic glass cooktop. Soften stubborn stains under a soapy cloth.

Important!
If cooktop cleaner residue is left on the trim rings, it can dry on and may cause the pan supports, control dials and power button to get stuck. Be careful and wipe around the trim rings and not over them.
