Why are Schott Ceran Cooktops Great?
As the original glass-ceramic cooktop, Schott Ceran has set industry standards with its versatile and functional design. The advanced coating enhances the cooktop's scratch resistance, making it significantly more durable against everyday use.
With a cooking surface only 4 mm thick, Schott Ceran is highly heat-permeable helping heating energy reach the cookware with minimal heat loss. Due to low lateral heat conduction, only the cooking zones become hot while the remaining surface remains relatively cool.
Why Cleaning Your Schott Ceran Cooktop is Important
Maintaining a clean Schott Ceran glass-ceramic cooktop is essential for several reasons. Regular cleaning preserves the cooktop's sleek, black surface and prevents discoloration.
Promptly cleaning spills, especially sugary substances, prevents them from caramelizing and leaving behind stubborn stains that are difficult to remove.
Additionally, a clean cooktop ensures optimal heat distribution because residual food particles can interfere with heat transfer.
Incorporating regular cleaning into your cooking routine keeps your Schott Ceran glass-ceramic cooktop looking pristine and functions like new.
How to Clean a Schott Ceran Cooktop
1. Immediate Post-Cooking Care
- Cool Down: Always allow the cooktop to cool completely before initiating any cleaning to prevent burns and avoid streaks.
- Wipe Away Loose Debris: Use a soft, dry cloth or paper towel to gently remove any crumbs, spills, or loose food particles.
2. Addressing Stubborn Residues
- Apply Specialized Cleaner: Once the surface is cool, apply a few drops of a cleaner specifically designed for glass-ceramic surfaces, such as the Original SCHOTT CERAN® Cooktop Cleaner.
- Gentle Scrubbing: With a damp cloth or sponge, gently scrub the surface in a circular motion to lift residues.
- Tackle Tough Stains: For burnt-on food or persistent stains, you can carefully use a metal cleaning scraper at a 30-degree angle to remove the residue.
3. Final Touches
- Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth to remove any cleaner residue, then dry it with a clean, dry paper towel to prevent streaks.
Pro Tips for Maintaining Your Schott Ceran Cooktop
- Immediate Spill Management: If substances like plastic, aluminum foil, or sugary foods melt onto the hot surface, remove them immediately with a metal razor scraper to prevent damage. Always wear appropriate hand protection to avoid burns.
- Avoid Abrasive Materials: Steer clear of abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh cleaning agents like oven sprays or stain removers, as they can scratch or damage the glass-ceramic surface.
- Regular Maintenance: Incorporate a quick cleaning routine after each use to prevent buildup and maintain the cooktop's pristine appearance.
