Protecting the appliance from
damage
~
Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the hob surface permanently.
~
Never heat an empty pan unless
the manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. This could
damage the appliance.
~
Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,
sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning
vegetables) can cause scratches.
~
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when
they are hot. If this should occur,
switch off the appliance, and carefully
scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the hob whilst
they are still hot, using a shielded
scaper blade. Take care not to burn
yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the cooking zone to cool down,
and then clean with a suitable
proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.
~
To prevent the risk of spillages etc.
burning on, remove any soiling as
quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could reach
the electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~
Never place hot pans on the area
around the controls. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
