Samsung induction cooktop glass care — here is what you need to know.
Samsung Induction Cooktop Glass Surface Care
Samsung induction cooktops feature a smooth glass-ceramic surface that houses the electromagnetic induction coils beneath it. While this glass-ceramic material is engineered to withstand high temperatures and daily use, it can be damaged by impact, improper cookware, abrasive cleaning, and thermal stress. A cracked or chipped cooktop surface is not just a cosmetic issue — it exposes electrical components to moisture and food spills, creating a potential shock and short-circuit hazard.
Preventing Surface Damage
Never slide cookware across the glass surface, as the rough bottom edges of pots and pans can scratch and weaken the glass. Lift cookware when moving it. Do not drop heavy items on the cooktop, and avoid using the cooktop surface as a cutting board or food preparation area. Use only flat-bottomed cookware that makes full contact with the surface — warped or rounded-bottom pans concentrate heat unevenly and can cause thermal stress cracks. Do not place hot lids face-down on the cooktop, as the vacuum seal created between the lid and the cool glass can crack the surface when lifted.
Proper Cleaning
Clean your Samsung induction cooktop after every use once the surface has cooled. Use a damp soft cloth or paper towel with a small amount of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner. For stuck-on food, use a single-edge razor scraper held at a 30-degree angle to the surface — scrape in one direction only. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, which permanently scratch the glass. Avoid ammonia-based or bleach-based cleaners, which can discolor the surface and damage the printed markings around the burner zones.
If the Glass Is Cracked
If you discover a crack, chip, or deep scratch in your Samsung induction cooktop surface, stop using the affected burner zone immediately. Even a hairline crack can allow moisture or liquid spills to reach the electrical components below the glass, creating a risk of electric shock or short circuit. Do not attempt to repair a cracked glass-ceramic cooktop surface yourself — the entire glass panel must be replaced by a qualified technician.
