Professional repair should be considered if the glass is cracked or chipped, as these issues can worsen over time and potentially lead to more serious problems. Additionally, if there are electrical issues or if the stove top is not heating properly, a professional technician should evaluate the appliance to ensure safety and proper function.
DIY Cleaning and Maintenance Tips
For regular cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild detergent or a specialized glass stove top cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. For tougher stains, a paste made of baking soda and water can be effective. Apply the paste, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a non-abrasive pad. Regular maintenance includes wiping spills immediately and avoiding dragging pots across the surface.
