How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off all burners and disconnect power. Do not use a cooktop with cracked glass, as it may expose live parts or gas flames.
- Assess damage: For glass-ceramic tops, any crack that reaches the edge or crosses a heating zone requires replacement of the entire top. For enamel, small chips can be cosmetic but may rust.
- Avoid temporary fixes: Do not tape or glue cracked glass; this is unsafe.
- Replace top: Arrange for replacement of the glass-ceramic or enamel top with a genuine Glem Gas part. This usually involves removing burners, seals, and controls.
- Prevent recurrence: Avoid dropping heavy items and do not place cold liquids on very hot surfaces.
