3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the glass-ceramic surface functions as part of your existing Neff cooktop. Refer to your original cooktop's user manual for detailed operating instructions. General operation typically includes:
3.1 Basic Controls
- Power On/Off: Use the main power button to switch the cooktop on or off.
- Zone Selection: Select the desired cooking zone using the corresponding touch control.
- Heat Adjustment: Adjust the heat level using the +/- buttons or slider controls for each zone.
- Residual Heat Indicator: A 'H' or 'h' indicator will show that a cooking zone is still hot after use.
3.2 Safety Precautions
- Always use cookware with a flat, clean base that matches the size of the cooking zone.
- Do not place hot lids on the glass surface, as condensation can create a vacuum.
- Avoid dragging cookware across the surface to prevent scratches.
- Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage area.
- Keep children away from the cooktop during operation and while it is cooling down.
4. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your glass-ceramic cooktop surface.
4.1 Daily Cleaning
- After each use, allow the surface to cool down.
- Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap.
- Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spots.
4.2 Removing Stubborn Stains
- For burnt-on food or stubborn stains, use a specialized glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-abrasive cleaning pad.
- For sugar spills or melted plastic, carefully scrape off the residue with a razor blade scraper designed for glass surfaces, holding it at a shallow angle. Do this only when the surface is cool.
- Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cooktop after replacing the glass-ceramic surface, consider the following common problems:
5.1 Cooktop Not Heating
- No Power: Check if the cooktop is properly connected to the power supply and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
- Incorrect Installation: Ensure the new glass-ceramic surface is correctly installed and all connections are secure.
- Control Panel Issue: If the control panel is unresponsive, refer to your original cooktop manual or contact a qualified technician.
5.2 Uneven Heating
- Cookware: Ensure you are using flat-bottomed cookware appropriate for induction or radiant heat.
- Zone Selection: Verify that the correct cooking zone has been selected and the heat setting is appropriate.
5.3 Scratches or Cracks on Surface
- Scratches: Minor scratches are often cosmetic and do not affect performance. Avoid dragging heavy or rough-bottomed pans.
