clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff
with a clean dry towel.

Cleaner (#12010031) sold in the US at
www.store.thermador.com/us. Other cleaners such as
® ®
BonAmi , Soft Scrub (without bleach), and white vinegar
can also be used.

Avoid these cleaners

bleach. These ingredients may damage or
permanently stain the induction surface.
• Caustic cleaners such as Easy Off
induction surface.
• Abrasive cleaners.
• Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as
®
Scotch Brite
• Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS

Possible solution
Remove these types of spills while the surface is hot using glass
scraper. Remove pan and turn OFF the cooking zone. Wearing an
oven mitt, hold scraper at 30° angle, using care not to gouge or
scratch the glass. Push soil off the heated area. After the surface
has cooled, remove the residue and apply a glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil for
30 minutes. Use a plastic scrubber and glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. Rinse and dry.
Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly
and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave
marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not remove the marks, try a
®
mild abrasive (Bon Ami , Soft Scrub
paper towel. Rinse and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Failure to remove metal marks before the next heating makes
removal very difficult.
Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and
cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove boilovers
and stains before using the cooktop again.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before using to remove
sand-like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning. Scratches can
be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean, and
dry before use.
Avoid contact with surface by jewelry, wrist watches and metallic
utensils. These can scratch the surface. DO NOT stack kitchen
utensils or dishware on the Induction Module.
Wipe with warm soapy cloth, rinse and dry.
