SCHOTT is the supplier of SCHOTT CERAN® glass ceramic to the appliance industry. Your CERAN® cooking surface is developed to be easy to use and to look great. Below you will find some everyday cleaning tips to keep your cleaning surface looking new. We can not, however, offer support for specific questions regarding a consumer's glass ceramic cooktop outside of the tips below.
IMPORTANT FOR CONSUMERS: If you have specific questions about your glass cooking surface, we ask that you contact the manufacturer or of your range or cooktop. Please do not call SCHOTT as SCHOTT CAN NOT support consumers' questions regarding glass cooking surfaces. You MUST contact your appliance manufacturer (Example, Whirlpool, General Electric, etc).
Tip: Clean your CERAN® cooking surface regularly, preferably after each time you use it.
- First remove any burnt-on deposits or spilled food from your CERAN® cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper (similar to scraping paint off of your windowpanes in your home - it will not damage the decorated cooking surface). Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to the cooktop. For your safety, please wear a mitt potholder while using the metal scraper.
- When the cooking surface has cooled down apply a few dabs (about the size of a dime) of an approved cleaner in each burner area and work the cleaning cream over the cooktop surface with a damp paper towel as if you were cleaning a window.
- As a final step, clean with clear water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry paper towel.
Important: If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, etc.), a plastic item or kitchen foil accidentally melts on the hot surface of your smoothtop, remove the molten material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper (it will not damage the decorated cooking surface) while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the CERAN® surface. For your safety please wear a mitt potholder while cleaning the hot cooking surface.
!!! Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads of any type. Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays, cleaners containing chlorine or ammonia and stain removers should not be used.
Scratches resulting from daily use are quite harmless and only impair the visual effect. There is no need to worry if something spills or boils over. Even burned-on food can be easily removed using the metal scraper. Please make sure that all deposits are removed before the cooking surface will be used again.
Following these simple hints will ensure that your CERAN® cooking surface will look good for a long time to come.
