How?
Important!
•
When the power to the cooktop is switched off,
there will be no 'hot surface' indication but the
cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.
•
Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and
harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the
glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner
or scourer is suitable.
•
Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the
glass may become stained.
•
Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or
spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the
glass, they may be difficult to remove or even
permanently damage the glass surface.
•
Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the
blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme
care and always store safely and out of reach of
children.
•
The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the
touch controls may not function while there is liquid
on them. Make sure you wipe the touch control area
dry before turning the cooktop back on.
