Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Entire Appliance Does Not Operate**
This may occur if the appliance is not connected properly. Ensure that the power cord is plugged in correctly and check the fuse or breaker box to confirm the circuit is active. There might also be an electrical outage -
**Surface Element Issues**
Elements could be too hot, not hot enough, or not heating evenly. This could be due to incorrect surface control settings or the use of lightweight or warped cookware. Flat, medium to heavyweight cookware should be used -
**Discoloration or Scratches on Cooktop**
Mineral deposits from water and food or coarse particles can cause discoloration or scratches. Proper cleaning with recommended cleaning materials is advised to prevent and manage this -
**Cooktop Surface Cracks**
Heavy or hard objects dropped on the cooktop can cause it to crack. It's important to avoid using the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board -
**Metal Marks and Other Stains**
Metal utensils or pans sliding across the cooktop can leave marks. These marks should be cleaned immediately with a cooktop cleaner. Boil-overs can also cause stains that should be cleaned immediately after the surface cools
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Always ensure that the cooktop is cool before cleaning. This prevents burns and ensures effective cleaning without damaging the finish.
- Use only cooktop cleaning creams specifically designed for ceramic surfaces. Apply the cream directly to the cooktop using a clean paper towel or a non-abrasive cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads as they can scratch or damage the ceramic glass surface.
- Immediately remove any metal marks caused by sliding pans with a cooktop cleaning cream. These marks can become permanent if not addressed.
- Do not use aluminum foil or any materials that might melt on the cooktop, as they can damage the ceramic glass.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use cookware with flat bottoms that match the size of the heating element to ensure even heat distribution and reduce energy loss.
- Utilize residual heat by turning off the cooking element a few minutes before the end of cooking to allow the food to continue cooking with the retained heat.
- Keep the ceramic glass cooktop clean and free from spills, as a clean surface transfers heat more efficiently and reduces energy consumption.
- Cover pots and pans with lids to trap heat and moisture, which can reduce cooking times and energy usage.
- Choose proper cookware materials like copper or anodized aluminum, which conduct heat more efficiently than stainless steel.
- Never use the cooktop as a space heater to heat or warm the room, as it may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
- Avoid using aluminum foil or any material that can melt on the ceramic glass cooktop, as they can damage the cooktop.
- Never leave children unattended in the area where the cooktop is in use, as they should not be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
- Do not attempt to operate the cooktop with a broken glass surface, as cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
- Always ensure the cooktop is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock. Never use an adapter plug, extension cord, or remove the grounding prong from the power cord.
