How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Care note: Discoloration is usually cosmetic but can be minimized with proper cleaning.

  • Clean correctly:
    • Use a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner and a soft cloth.
    • For stubborn stains, use a hob scraper at a shallow angle on cooled glass.
  • Avoid abrasives: Do not use steel wool or harsh scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
  • Prevent recurrence: Avoid overheating empty pans and clean spills promptly.
  • Permanent marks: Deep discoloration may not be fully removable; the only remedy is replacing the ceramic glass top if appearance is critical.
