Avoid Direct Heat Contact
Always place hot lids on an insulating trivet or a heat-resistant surface.
Use Appropriate Cookware
Choose pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms for even heat distribution and to avoid scratching the surface. Be especially careful with heavy cookware like cast iron, as an accidental drop can cause irreparable damage.
Regular and Gentle Maintenance
Use a soft cloth and non-abrasive products to maintain the shine of your cooktop. Clean up cooking debris immediately to prevent scratches from food residues.
What to Do if You Have Cracks on Your Cooktop?
Act Quickly
Stop using the cooktop as soon as you notice a crack. Continuing to cook could worsen the damage and increase accident risks.
Assess the Damage
For small cracks, a professional may sometimes carry out a temporary repair. However, if the damage is significant, replacing the glass top is inevitable.
Call a Professional
Do not attempt to repair the cooktop yourself. Call a qualified technician to evaluate the possibility of repair or the need for a complete replacement to ensure your safety.
Prevention for Safe Use
Ceramic cooktops add a modern touch to your kitchen but require special attention. By avoiding common mistakes, like direct contact with a hot lid, and regularly maintaining your cooktop, you will extend its lifespan and cook safely.
