Tips on the use of the
ceramic hob unit
Do not slide saucepans across the
surface of the hob - always lift the pan
when placing it on, or removing it
from the ceramic surface.
Wipe the bottom surface of the pots
and pans with a clean dry cloth before
placing them on the ceramic surface.
This helps to reduce cleaning and
prevents scratching the hob glass.
Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm.
Select the highest setting for the
cooking zones until the food is brought
to the boil, then reduce the setting.
Use saucepans with an even base. An
uneven based saucepan may increase
the electricity consumption by up to
50%.
The saucepan should match the
cooking zone or be slightly larger.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan
to reduce electricity consumption.

The decorative pattern on the ceramic
surface can become scratched and
marred with use, depending upon
maintenance, but does not adversely
affect performance.
Such blemishes are not covered by the
warranty and do not affect the
operation of the hob.
Spills and melts must be removed
immediately, while the surface is still
warm, using the scraper supplied with
the unit. Especially damaging are melted
plastic, aluminum, or any foodstuff
containing sugar, including natural sugar,
as these can create permanent
“pockmarks” and craters on the ceramic
surface. After scraping polish thoroughly
with the cleaning agent supplied with the
unit.
Utensils which have been in contact with
the above-mentioned melted materials
must be cleaned throughly before used
again on the ceramic-top hob unit.
Defects in the ceramic surface which can
be related to the above are not covered
by the warranty.
Warning:
Aluminum foil and plastic utensils are
not to be placed on hot surfaces.
The surface may not be used for storage.
Do not stare at the heating units when
in operation.
