Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power (for electric/induction) and gas supply (for gas-on-glass) immediately. Do not use the appliance with a cracked surface.
Steps:
- Assess damage: Inspect the crack. Any crack on glass-ceramic or gas-on-glass requires replacement of the top.
- Order correct part: Use the SMEG model number to order the exact replacement glass or enamel top.
- Replace top: Remove knobs, seals, and screws securing the top. Carefully lift off the damaged top and transfer burners/elements to the new top.
- Reassemble: Refit all components, ensuring proper sealing and alignment.
Warning: Cracked glass can shatter or allow liquid into live parts. Do not attempt to glue or tape the crack.
