Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and 

prevent pan damage:

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap 

and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts 

once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on 

food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck 

to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and 

grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly. 
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the 

pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and 

scrub with a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that 

these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan 

support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water 

droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking 

may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner 

caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Caution!

Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.

Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp 

implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food 

from the hob.

Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to clean 

the point where the glass meets the burner trims, the metal 

frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will 

prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you 

will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may scratch 

it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp objects on the 

glass. Never strike any part of the hob.

Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and 

vegetables will scratch the glass surface.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which may 

have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate immediately, 

using the glass scraper.
Avoid spilling salt on the surface of the electric hob.

Use pans which are the right 

size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on 

large burners. The flame must 

not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, 

which do not sit evenly on the 

hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat 

base.

Do not cook without using a lid 

and make sure the lid is 

properly fitted. This wastes 

energy.

Always centre the pan over the 

burner, not to one side. 

Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on the 

burners near the control knobs. 

These may be damaged by the 

very high temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan 

supports, never directly on the 

burner.
Make sure that the pan 

supports and burner caps are 

correctly positioned before 

using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on the 

hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do 

not place excessive weight on 

it.

Never use two burners or heat 

sources to heat one single pan.
Do not use grill pans, 

earthenware casserole dishes, 

etc. for a long period of time 

on maximum power.
