o
Use flat bottomed pans only
o
When possible, keep a lid on the pan whilst cooking.
o
Cook vegetables with as little water as possible, to reduce
cooking times.
IMPORTANT: Always place pans centrally over the hob burners and
position them so that the handles cannot get accidentally caught or
knocked off. You should also make sure that the handle is not over one
of the other hob burner flames.
Cleaning
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when
the hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
water and a little washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. Make sure that the hob surface, pan
supports and hob burners have all cooled sufficiently
before you attempt to touch them.
After each use
o
Remove the pan supports and wipe the appliance over with a
damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
o
Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a soft, clean cloth.
