Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear you're pleased with the functionality of your range. To help prevent scratches on your cooktop, we recommend using cookware with smooth, flat bottoms to avoid heavy, rough, or uneven pans that could scratch the surface. It's also important to clean the cooktop after each use, as food spills or cooking residue can be abrasive if left on the surface. When moving pots and pans, try lifting them instead of sliding them across the cooktop, as sliding can lead to scratches. If you're using cast-iron or other heavy cookware, consider using a protective pad or mat underneath to prevent direct contact with the cooktop. Finally, when cleaning, avoid abrasive cleaners and use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for smooth-top stoves. By following these tips, you can help keep your cooktop looking new and minimize the chance of scratches.
