Spotting and Assessing Damage

Glass stove tops look sleek and are easy to clean, but they can scratch or crack.

Watch for signs like chips, stains that won’t fade, or uneven heating.

Clean the surface to tell dirt from real damage — minor scratches are fine,

but deep cracks or chips can be dangerous.

When to Call a Professional

Get expert help if the glass is cracked, heating is uneven, or electrical problems occur.

A technician can safely repair or recommend replacement before hazards worsen.

Cleaning and Care Tips

Use a soft cloth with mild detergent or a glass stove cleaner.

For stubborn stains, apply a baking soda paste and wipe gently.

Avoid steel wool, harsh cleaners, or sliding pots, which can scratch the surface.

Small scratches may be buffed with a repair kit, and chips can sometimes be filled with epoxy.

Prevention and Replacement

Protect the stove by using flat cookware, lifting pots, and covering burners when not in use.

Replace the unit if cracks spread, repairs outweigh costs, or the stove is over 10–15 years old.
