q Do not use the hob as a storage space or work
surface. Salt, sugar or sand (can occur when
vegetables are cleaned) can cause scratches on
the hob.
q Ensure that no hard or sharp object is dropped
onto the hob, otherwise it could become damaged
as a result.
q Only clean the hob when it has cooled, i.e., when
the residual heat display no longer illuminates.
If used when the hotplate is hot, agents used for
cleaning and care of the hotplate will cause stains.
q Do not use a protective foil on the hob.
q Do not put any hot pans on the display panels, the
adjustment range or the hob surround.
Iridescent discoloration (metallic shimmer) is caused
by particles rubbing off the bases of some pans or by
using unsuitable cleaners. This can be removed with
Sainsbury's CERAMIC Hob CLEANER or Hob Clean
but it is a timeĆconsuming job. Our customer service
will remove such stains at a charge. Aggressive or
abrasive cleaning agents will rub off the decor,
causing dark patches.
Any food remains that were not removed and have
become baked on will also cause hob discoloration.
They do not influence the function or stability of the
glass ceramic.
Pitting caused by melted
sugar or food with a high
sugar content.
Scratches caused by
