Protective Glass Mat for Induction Cooktop WMF EXTRALINK EX.28648 transparent

The WMF EXTRALINK protective glass mat EX.28648 is a transparent cover designed for use with induction cooktops. It creates a heat-resistant, easy-to-clean surface that protects the ceramic glass of the hob from scratches, spilled liquids and stains while still allowing heat transfer where appropriate. The slim, transparent design preserves the cooktop's appearance and can be used as a temporary work surface for food preparation, serving or short-term storage.

Advantages

The glass mat offers a durable, heat-resistant barrier that resists stains and is simple to wipe clean with a damp cloth. Its transparent finish maintains the aesthetic of modern induction cooktops and the low-profile design does not interfere with most cookware when in use. Because it is made to withstand elevated temperatures typical of kitchen worktops, it reduces the risk of accidental damage to the underlying ceramic glass.

Suitable for

• Protecting induction and ceramic glass cooktops from scratches and spills
• Temporary food preparation surface and plating area
• Short-term storage of pots, pans and kitchen items between uses
• Use in homes, small apartments and rental properties where surface protection is needed

Key specifications

• Material: heat-resistant tempered glass suitable for kitchen surfaces
• Finish: transparent, low-reflective surface designed to preserve cooktop appearance
• Heat resistance: designed to tolerate temperatures encountered on induction hobs during normal use
• Cleaning: easy-to-clean surface suitable for wiping with a damp cloth and mild detergent
• Design: slim, low-profile mat that lies flat on ceramic glass surfaces

How to use

Place the glass mat on a cooled cooktop surface, ensuring the hob is switched off and the surface is clean and dry before placement. Use the mat as a protective layer while preparing or serving food, or for short-term storage of cookware. Remove the mat before turning on cooking zones; while the mat is heat resistant, direct prolonged heating underneath it is not recommended. After use, allow the mat to cool if exposed to heat, then clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent and dry before storing.

Recommendations

Do not use the glass mat on an actively operating hob. Always place it on a cool, clean surface and remove it prior to prolonged or high-temperature cooking. Regularly inspect the mat for chips or cracks and discontinue use if damaged. For cleaning, avoid abrasive pads or strong chemical cleaners that may scratch or dull the transparent finish.
