Cooktop surface around burners or zones is discolored or stained.

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.
