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.
Remove
spills from the heat
zone immediately
