4. Cooking Tips
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high temperatures oil
and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
-
The bottom of the pan must be thick and perfectly flat
-
To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never use cast-iron pans or pans with a rough bottom
-
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
-
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
-
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
-
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
The table below indicates the heat level and the cooking operation. Setting may vary depending on the
amount of food and personal taste.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance
Before any cleaning or maintenance done, switch off the power supply.
The hob should be cleaned regularly, preferably after use every time, when the residual heat indicator has
gone off.
For everyday soiling on glass such as fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers, smudges
from aluminium-bottom pans, clean the hob with a cloth damped in vinegar or cooktop cleaner. Rinse and dry
the glass with a clean cloth or paper towel.
For boil over’s, melts, and hot sugary spills or any burnt residues on the glass, remove them with a scraper
suitable for ceramic glass, rinse with water and wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Regular use of scraper could
reduce the need for chemical detergents during daily hob cleaning.
Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents, e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-removers, wire sponges.
Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop.
NEVER USE A STEAM JET TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE
