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.
