The ceramic hob

13

Save energy!

•

Putting a lid on pans cuts the amount of energy 
used by half (compared to cooking without lids).

•

Using pans with flat bases saves 25% energy 
(compared to uneven based pans).

•

Make sure the hob is clean and dry. Dirt and mois-
ture reduce heat transfer between pans and hotplates.

•

Turn the hotplates off and finish cooking using the 
remaining heat.

•

Save energy by steaming and pressure-cooking.

Cleaning the ceramic hob

Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages 
immediately, while the hob is still hot, especially 
sugar and foods with a high sugar content (e.g. 
jam), melted plastics and foil, all of which can 
damage the hob if left.

IF

 

THE

 

HOB

 

IS

 

VERY

 

SOILED

:

1

Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper (see 
below). 

2

Use the hob cleaner supplied when the hot-hob warning 
lights have all gone out. Shake the bottle and apply a 
small quantity of cleaner directly onto the hob. Rub 
clean using a damp cloth or paper towels.

3

Use a damp cloth to remove all remaining traces of the 
cleaner, which could otherwise burn on when the hob is 
next used. Wipe the hob dry.

The razor blade scraper:

KEEP

 

THE

 

SCRAPER

 

AWAY

 

FROM

 

CHILDREN

. Use the 

razor blade scraper carefully. The razor blade is 
extremely sharp.

Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob. You 
will have to turn the razor blade round before using it for the 
first time since it has been reversed for transport safety rea-
sons. There is a protective cover for the sharp razor blade when 
the scraper is not being used.

1

Press down the button on the top of the scraper and push 
it forwards as far as it will go (see illustration).

2

Remove the razor blade. Replace the blade with the 
sharp edge outwards.

3

“Lock” the blade with the tabs on the scraper 
(see illustration).

4

Press the button down hard and push it backwards as far 
as it will go.
