Cleaning & Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your cooktop must be kept clean. Make sure all controls

are in the “OFF” position.

Glass Ceramic Top

Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic top, follow these basic steps:

For normal, light soil:

1.Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.

2.Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For heavy, burned soil:

1.Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.

2.Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade. Hold the blade at a 30º angle against the ceramic surface.

3.If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.

4.Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier.

Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore, make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to staining.

WARNING

The instructions for hobs shall state that a steam cleaner is not to be used. Ref. EN 60335-2-6-A11: Clause 7.12
