Maintenance

  • Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.

  • For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner.

  • Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.

  • Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

  • Clean the cooktop cautiously. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.

  • If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove it with a metal scraper immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed. Use caution and wear an oven mitt to avoid burns.

  • Keep meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic-glass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately.

  • Use oven mitts to avoid burns when using a metal scraper on a hot cooking zone.

  • Refer to the Maintenance section for proper cleaning and maintenance of the cooktop.
