Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the glass‑ceramic cooktop after each use with a soft cloth and non‑abrasive cooktop cleaner to prevent residue and scratches.
-
Wipe spills promptly once cooled — avoid harsh detergents and abrasive pads that can dull the surface.
-
For tough spots, use a ceramic cooktop cream and a designed razor scraper gently at a 30° angle.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots on the vibrant red finish.
-
Use induction‑compatible cookware with flat, magnetic bases to ensure proper heating and protect the surface.
-
Wipe control panel and knobs with a damp soft cloth; avoid abrasives that can remove graphics.
-
Clean stainless trim with mild soap and water; dry immediately and use stainless cleaner if needed.
-
Run the oven’s self‑clean cycle occasionally to burn off interior residue (remove racks first; wipe ash after cooling).
-
Avoid commercial oven solvents or lining the oven with foil — these can damage finishes.
-
Inspect and tighten anti‑tip bracket and mounting hardware if moved.
