Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

Daily Cleaning

Note:

Glass ceramic cooktop

Metallic seal

Recommended cleaners indicate a type of cleaner and do not constitute an endorsement.

_ AUTION: Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface ishot, use only the blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to

your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface.

Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk immediately with the razor blade scraper (See special cleaning chart).

Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge cloth (wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use) or a paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.

Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.

Use warm mild cleaning agent only. Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. The glass scraper is not suitable for use. It could damage the control panel.

Lemon and vinegar are not suitable for cleaning the control panel. They may cause dull areas to appear.

Cleaning guidlines

Avoid these cleaners

When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel.

For best results, use cleaners such as cooktop cleaning creme, BonAmi ®, Soft Scrub ® (without bleach), and white vinegar.

Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach. These ingredients may permanently etch or stain the cooktop.

Caustic cleaners cleaners such as Easy Off® may etch the cooktop surface. Abrasive cleaners.

Dishwashing agents. Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch and /

or leave metal marks. Soap filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch the surface.

Cleaning charts

Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain cooktop. Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD 40.

Type of Soil Possible Solution

Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted plastic film or

foil. All these items REQUIRE

IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Failure to

remove these immediately can

permanently damage the surface.

Metal marks: Iridescent stain

Hard Water Spots

Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface

Remove these types of spills while the surface is hot using the razor blade scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in the

scraper. Remove pan and turn off the element.

Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30°

angle, using care not to gouge or scratch

the glass. Push soil offthe heated area. After the surface has cooled, remove the

residue and apply the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leavemarks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Ifthis does not remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse and reapply creme. Failureto remove metal marks before the next heating makes removal very difficult.

Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and cause stains. Use

undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove boilovers and stains, before using the cooktop again.

Maintenance

Surface scratches

Small scratches are common and do

not affect cooking. They become

smoother and less noticeable with daily

use of the glass ceramic cooktop

cleaner.

This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning creme daily.

Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner

before using to remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning. Can be reduced by using pans with bases

that are smooth, clean, and dry before

use.

Use recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily. Be Careful: Diamond rings will scratch

the surface.

If you encounter a problem, it frequently will merely be something minor. Before you call customer service, consider the following suggestions and instructions:

Check the condition of the fuses/circuit breakers at your location. Check to see if you are experiencing a power failure.

The touch control zone is very dirty, food has boiled over, or an object is lying on top of the control settings zone. Thoroughly clean the touch control zone, or remove the object lying on the zone if that may be causing the problem. Touch the touch control zone that seems to be involved in the problem. The flashing will stop.

The main switch was operated continuously for longer than five seconds. Thoroughly wipe off the touch control zone and remove any objects that might be sticking to the zone. Enter your settings again.

The cooktop regulates the heating element temperature by turning the heat source on and off; This means that the heat source beneath the heating element, which

gives off a reddish glow, may not always be visible. If you select a low heat setting, the heat source is frequently off; at higher settings it is seldom off. The source turns

on and off even at the hottest setting.

You may hear a quiet hum when the heating elements are in the heating phase. The heating elements may glow with different levels of brightness. Depending on the

angle from which you are looking at the heating element, this glow may be visible over the marked edge of the heating element.

These are technical characteristics. They have no effect on quality and function. Depending on the countertop that is present in the kitchen, an uneven gap between

the cooktop unit and the countertop can occur. For this reason, a flexible seal is provided around the entire cooktop unit.

Glass ceramic may have uneven areas on the surface due to the nature of the material itself. Because of the mirror-like finish on the cooking surface, even extremely small bubbles less than 1 mm in diameter may be visible. These bubbles will not have any adverse effect on the operation of the cooktop nor on the durability of the glass ceramic cooking surface.
