WipeClean™ Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a chipping benefit with the WipeClean™ Coating?

Chipping is a phenomenon that happens when the adhesion of sugary food is so strong on the glass surface that, during cleaning, small chips of glass are removed from the surface along with the stains. Through extensive and repeated cleanability testing using jam, one of the toughest stains to clean, our engineering team found that the WipeClean™ cooktop coating makes cooktops five times more resistant to chipping.

Are there any specific pots and pans I should avoid with this WipeClean™ Coating cooktop?

You can use the same types of pots and pans and take the same precautions as on uncoated glass cooktops, especially when using cast iron, as those can scratch any cooktop surface.

How did this innovation come to life?

A study done in 2021 confirmed that cleanability is one of the most critical needs for families; the aesthetic of the cooktop is perceived as sleek and stylish, but stains or marks become easily visible on the shiny surface. Whirlpool Corporation took this feedback and implemented a plan to improve cleanability by developing a cooktop coating that would (A) reduce cleaning time/efforts and (B) decrease harsh cleaner usage. *Consumer Product Journey 2021 by IIAB (F/I/UK/RU)
