Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the glass‑ceramic cooktop after each use with a soft cloth and non‑abrasive glass/ceramic cleaner to remove residue and prevent scratches.
-
Wipe spills promptly once the surface has cooled; avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals that can dull or damage the cooktop.
-
For tough, burned‑on spots, use a ceramic cooktop cleaner and gently scrape at a 30° angle with a scraper on a cool surface.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent streaks and water spots.
-
Use induction‑compatible cookware with flat, magnetic bases to ensure efficient heating and protect the surface.
-
Avoid dragging cookware across the cooktop to reduce scratching.
-
Clean control panel and knobs with a damp, soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that can fade markings.
-
Wipe exterior stainless steel trim with mild soap and water; follow with a stainless‑steel polish for deeper shine.
-
Run the oven’s self‑clean cycle periodically to burn off interior residue (remove racks first; wipe ash after completion).
-
Check and tighten mounting hardware/anti‑tip bracket after moving the range to maintain stability.
