1)Clean the cooktop after each use with a soft, damp cloth and mild dish soap to remove spills and stains. 2)Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the cooktop surface, especially when hot. 3)Use flat-bottomed cookware designed for induction cooking to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage to the cooktop. 4)Do not use sharp objects on the cooktop surface, as they can cause scratches or cracks. 5)Check the power cord and plug regularly for any signs of wear or damage, and replace if necessary to ensure safety.
