Helpful Hints
The ceramic surface of the appliance is non-porous and is not sensitive to quick changes in heat, this
allows for hot pans to be moved onto cold heat zones without damaging the hob, always ensure that
when pans are being moved from zone to zone that they are lifted and placed down gentle onto the
surface and not by sliding them across the ceramic surface as this may damage the appliance and will
not be covered under the guarantee.
If spillages of foodstuffs being cooked occur then they must be removed immediately to avoid damage
to the appliance
THIS MUST BE DONE WITH GREAT CARE TO AVOID INJURY. Should
spillage occur of foodstuffs that have a high content of sugar then it is important to remove the spillage
quickly as it will destroy the ceramic surface, stubborn stains maybe removed using the ceramic hob
scraper supplied with the product ensuring that the blade is not worn.
Frying pans and saucepans
Always ensure that the correct saucepan and frying pans are used in conjunction with the heat zone
size, the pan being used should not be smaller than the cooking zone and must not exceed 10 mm larger
than the required zone.
The bottoms of the cooking utensils being used must be clean and dry saucepans and frying pans that
do not have flat bottoms or have burrs or sharp edges will scratch the glass surface of the appliance.
Scratches can also be caused by partials of dirt from such things as fresh vegetables, it is important that
no such residues are allowed to come into contact with the ceramic surface if this should occur then the
partials must be removed before cooking commences.
Saucepans and frying pans that have either aluminum or copper bases can cause discoloration to the
hob and are sometimes impossible to remove always follow the saucepan manufactures guidelines.
