However, induction stovetops require routine upkeep to ensure they look and perform their best.
Some cleaning agents and tools should be avoided to prevent damage to the glass surface.
Avoid that by wiping the stovetop with a damp sponge or microfiber cloth when it is completely cool.
Avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch or dull the glass cooktop.
For weekly cleaning,use dish soapor a specialized cooktop cleaner to clean and polish the glass cooking surface.
If extra cleaning power is needed, spray the glass surface with distilled white vinegar before wiping.
Keep the scraper at a low angle and avoid pressing too hard, which can crack the glass.
Wipe the surface in straight, overlapping lines to ensure the entire surface is clean.
A glass-safe scraping tool or non-stretch nylon scrub sponge helps remove stuck-on food and stubborn residue from cooking.
Then, follow the directions above for cleaning an induction cooktop.
