Step 4: Handle With Care
Do not drop heavy objects or cookware on the stove.
Avoid dragging pots across the surface, which can scratch and weaken the glass.
Step 5: Clean Properly
Use soft cloths or sponges for cleaning.
Avoid abrasive powders, steel wool, or sharp scrapers.
Clean spills promptly, especially sugary or acidic substances, which can etch the glass if left too long.
Step 6: Inspect Regularly
Check for cracks, chips, or scratches.
Even small chips can grow over time and increase the risk of shattering.
What to Do If Your Stove Glass Cracks
If you notice a crack or chip:

Consult the manufacturer for replacement parts.
Avoid attempting DIY repairs; glass stove tops require professional replacement.
