Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save energy
and prevent pan damage:
Cleaning and maintenance
With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain
its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long
time to come. We will explain here how you should
correctly care for and clean your appliance.
m
Risk of burns!
The appliance will become hot during operation. Allow
the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
m
Risk of electric shock!
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to
clean your appliance.
Do not use the following cleaning
agents:
▯
Abrasive or rough cleaners
▯
Acidic cleaners (e.g. vinegar, citric acid, etc.)
▯
Chlorinated cleaners or cleaners with a high
alcohol content
▯
Oven spray
▯
Hard, scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring pads
▯
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
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.
