It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable
material and have the correct type of base. The base of the pan and
the hob top must be clean before use to prevent any scratches on the
hob top.
Please note:
Extra care should be taken if cast iron pans are used as
these have coarse bases which may damage the hob top.
Care and Maintenance
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
undertaking any cleaning or maintenance.
Important:
•
Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•
You should use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the hob top. Any
abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could
erase the control panel markings.
•
Sugar and starch can cause permanent damage to the surface of
the hob. Wipe away any spillages immediately but be careful given
that the hob top will be hot during and after usage.
•
Avoid letting pans boil over where possible to ensure that the need
for cleaning is minimal.
•
Always use a soft sponge or cloth where possible. Utensils such as
scouring sponges and some brushes could cause scratches to the
hob top.
A cleaning guide is available on page 22.
