Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the glass ceramic cooktop after every use with a soft cloth and a non‑abrasive glass/ceramic cleaner to remove light soils and prevent scratches.
-
Wipe spills promptly once the surface has cooled; avoid abrasive pads and harsh detergents that can strip protective coatings or damage the cooktop.
-
For burned‑on residues, apply a glass‑top cleaner and carefully use a cooktop scraper at a 30° angle on a cool surface.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots and preserve the stainless‑steel trim.
-
Use induction‑compatible cookware with flat, magnetic bottoms to maximize heating efficiency and protect the cooktop.
-
Avoid dragging cookware across the surface to prevent scratches.
-
Clean control panels and knobs with a damp soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that can fade markings or damage surfaces.
-
Run the oven’s self‑clean cycle periodically to burn off internal residue (remove racks before cleaning and wipe ash after completion).
-
Check and tighten any mounting hardware or anti‑tip bracket after moving the range to maintain stability.
