Cleaning the ceramic cooktop

Cleaning the ceramic cooktop

To keep your cooktop looking attractive, it is important to clean it regularly.

Normal wear and tear will occur but this will not affect the performance of your cooktop.

Prior to cleaning your cooktop, remove any food, spillovers, grease or staining with the razor blade scraper supplied. Clean the cooktop while it is still warm to touch. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. The cooktop may become stained if cleaning residue remains.

Recommended cleaners

Mica®, Cera-Clean®, Steel Fix® and Hillmark Ceram-X® are the recommended cleaners for your ceramic cooktop. Do not use abrasive sponges of any type. Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain removers should not be used.

Clean these spillovers immediately

Anything that MELTS on the ceramic 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 on the cooktop and not cleaned up immediately.

Clean these listed spillovers immediately using the razor blade scraper provided. Do not let these cool on the cooktop. If allowed to cool, pitting will occur on the surface.

Sugar

Sugar syrup

Jam

Melted plastics

Plastic wrap

Melted aluminium foil

Remember that some vegetables, eg peas and swedes, have a naturally high sugar content. The use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner and polish will help prevent spills bonding with the glass causing pitting. The spillover must still be removed immediately. Reapply cooktop cleaner and polish after every spill.

Wipe up splashes and spills using a clean damp cloth or damp paper towels.

Metallic stains

These show as a metallic sheen on the ceramic glass. They may be caused by copper-based or aluminium saucepans. For regular use in removing metallic stains, use Mica®, Cera-Clean®, Steel Fix® and Hillmark Ceram-X®.

Important!

If the stain is allowed to burn onto the surface, it may react with the glass ceramic and will no longer be removable.
