inadvertently turn on.

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP
Never use harsh cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners, pot scrubbers, stain removers, rust
removers, etc.
• Cleaning after use: Always clean the entire cooktop when it is dirty. It is recommended
to do this every time you use the cooktop. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of detergent, then dry with a clean, dry cloth to ensure no detergent residue
remains on the surface of the cooktop.
• Weekly cleaning: Thoroughly clean the entire cooktop once a week with commercially
available ceramic glass cleaners. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. Once
applied, the cleaner coats the cooktop with a protective film that is resistant to water
and dirt: all dirt remains on the film and can be easily removed. Then, wipe the cooktop
with a clean cloth: ensure no traces of the cleaner remain on the surface, as it reacts
aggressively when the cooktop is heated and can alter its surface.
SPECIFIC STAINS
• Stubborn dirt and stains (lime stains and pearl-like shiny stains) can best be removed
when the cooktop is still slightly warm. For cleaning, use commercially available cleaners.
• Moisten food spills with a damp cloth before removing residues with a special scraper for
ceramic glass cooktops. Then clean the cooktop again.
• Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed immediately while still hot with a glass
scraper. Then clean the cooktop again as described above.
• Small traces of soil that end up on the cooktop while cleaning potatoes or salad can
scratch the surface when moving pots. Ensure no traces of soil remain on the cooktop.
• Color changes in the ceramic glass surface have no effect on functionality and stability.
These changes are not related to the material but are due to food residues that have not
been removed and have burned onto the surface.
• Rubbing the bottoms of pots on the surface (especially aluminum ones) or using
unsuitable cleaners can cause shiny areas that are difficult to remove with normal
cleaners; therefore, the cleaning process may need to be repeated several times. Using
harsh cleaners or scrubbing with pot bottoms may wear off the decorations on the
cooktop over time and may contribute to the appearance of dark spots.
