There is no need to wait until the cooktop is stained. It should be washed regularly after each use.
Any cleaning agents should only be applied to a cooled surface.
Don’t use a kitchen surface cleaner for cleaning, as it usually contains soda or other small particles that can scratch the surface of the cooktop.
You should also be careful with oven cleaning sprays, as their composition may not be suitable for cleaning the cooktop.
If sugar or any other product containing sugar gets on the hot cooktop, you must immediately remove it from the surface of the cooktop with a metal scraper, without waiting for it to cool down. The same applies to the moments when any plastic object, like plastic wrap or a bowl, gets on the hot cooktop. At the same time, to protect your hands from possible burns, it’s better to hold the scraper with an oven mitt.
If you notice that characteristic spots from salty water (salt deposits) have appeared on the cooktop after cooking, first soften them by gently touching them with a damp sponge, and then remove the resulting slush using a metal scraper. Then proceed to the regular cleaning of the cooktop.
Don’t use glass cleaners, as their composition may be too aggressive for the ceramic glass cooktop surface.
If scratches appear on the surface of the cooktop, which can’t be removed with any of the methods mentioned above, it’s better to contact a professional technician who will polish the surface with special products or, if this is not enough, they will tell you if you can just replace the top panel without buying a new cooktop.
