3 Cleaning and maintenance 3.1 Warnings Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces • Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance. • Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto the cooktop during cooking. • Do not place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminum foil) on the surface during cooking. • Always keep the cooktop clean and do not place any objects on the sensor keys.
Cleaning and Maintenance Changes in color do not affect the function and stability of the glass. It is, in fact, not a question of changes to the cooktop material, but simply of residues which were not removed and therefore charred. Shiny spots can form due to the bases of pans rubbing on the surface, especially if they are aluminum, and the use of unsuitable cleaning agents. They are difficult to remove using common cleaning products. You may need to repeat the cleaning process several times.
