Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the glass‑ceramic cooktop after each use with a soft microfiber cloth and a non‑abrasive glass/ceramic cleaner to remove residues and prevent scratches.
-
Wipe spills promptly once the surface is cool; avoid harsh detergents and abrasive scrubbers that can damage the cooktop.
-
For stubborn spots, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream and use a dedicated scraper gently at a 30° angle on a cool surface.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent streaks and water spots.
-
Use induction‑compatible cookware with flat, magnetic bases to ensure even heating and protect the surface.
-
Avoid dragging cookware across the cooktop to reduce risk of scratches.
-
Clean control panel and knobs with a damp soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that can fade markings.
-
Wipe stainless trim with mild soap and water; use a stainless‑steel cleaner/polish for heavier soil.
-
Run the oven’s self‑clean cycle occasionally to burn off interior residue (remove racks first and wipe ash after).
-
Check and tighten mounting hardware and anti‑tip bracket if range is moved to maintain stability.
