Cleaning and Maintenance-Cooktop Daily Cleaning Notes ▯ Clean only parts listed in manual. ▯ Bosch cleaners have been tested and approved for use on Bosch appliances. Other recommended cleaners do not constitute an endorsement of a specific brand. Cleaning the Cooktop 9 WARNING DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop. 9 CAUTION Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface. Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface ▯ Regular, daily care using the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots. ▯ The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it. ▯ Never cook food directly on the glass. ▯ Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on glass surface. ▯ Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board. ▯ Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface as it may scratch the surface. ▯ Do not place wet pans on the glass surface. Care Before Use Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small amount of glass ceramic cooktop cleaner (packaged with range) on a daily basis. This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses. Daily Cleaning Techniques 9 WARNING RISK OF BURNS Be extremely careful as the cooking surface is hot. If using damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners give off noxious fumes when applied to hot surfaces. 1. Clean the surface when it is completely cool with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk with the razor blade scraper once the cooktop has sufficiently cooled. See Cooktop Care Chart on the next page. 2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse. 3. Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth. Using the Razor Blade Scraper Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Wait until the cooktop has cooled sufficiently. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle. Move it over the soil to lift it off of the cooktop. Finish with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Apply white vinegar if smudge remains and rinse. 9 WARNING RISK OF INJURY The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect the blade when not in use. Replace the blade immediately when any imperfections are found. Follow manufacturer's instructions. 24

Daily Cleaning

Notes

▯

Clean only parts listed in manual.

▯

Bosch cleaners have been tested and approved for

use on Bosch appliances.

Other recommended

cleaners do not constitute an endorsement of a

specific brand.

Cleaning the Cooktop

WARNING

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS

NEAR UNITS

Surface units may be hot even though they are dark

in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials

contact surface units or areas near units until they

have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas

are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

CAUTION

Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while

the surface is hot. The resulting fumes can be

hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can

chemically attack and damage the surface.

Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the

Surface

▯

Regular, daily care using the glass ceramic cooktop

cleaner will protect the surface and make it easier to

remove food soil and water spots.

▯

The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable

material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a

pan or other object is dropped on it.

▯

Never cook food directly on the glass.

▯

Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal

stand on glass surface.

▯

Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.

▯

Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface as

it may scratch the surface.

▯

Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

Care Before Use

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For

example, apply a small amount of glass ceramic cooktop

cleaner (packaged with range) on a daily basis. This

provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove

water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the

cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this

cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a

clean cloth and apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner

before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can

occur on the counter level surface between uses.

Daily Cleaning Techniques

WARNING

RISK OF BURNS

Be extremely careful as the cooking surface is hot. If

using damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop

has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also,

some cleaners give off noxious fumes when applied

to hot surfaces.

Clean the surface when it is completely cool with glass

ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato

products and milk with the razor blade scraper once

the cooktop has sufficiently cooled. See Cooktop Care

Chart on the next page.

Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a

paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if

smudge remains; rinse.
