WARNING
•
Do not use commercial simmering aids as these can create excessive heat that can damage the
appliance.
•
Do not use the glass ceramic surface of the hob as a griddle.
•
Do not leave hotplates on without a pan or an empty pan.
•
Be aware that hotplates will retain heat whilst cooling down.
•
When cooking foods with high sugar content, ensure that any spillage is removed
immediately to avoid damage to the ceramic surface.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
Always use the correct diameter pan, one that is the same or slightly larger than the hotplate.
•
The bottom of the pan must be flat.
•
Whenever possible keep the lid on the pan when cooking.
•
Avoid over-spill of liquid by reducing the heat when boiling has occurred.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Always allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning to avoid a burn injury.
Do not use caustic or abrasive agents, coarse wire wool or hard tools as these can damage the
surface finish.
Normally, wiping with a soft cloth dampened with hot detergent and drying with a soft cloth is
sufficient but for stubborn marks the following is recommended:
Vitreous Enamel or
Stainless Steel parts
– use only a cleaner that is recommended for these
types of material – avoid chloride based products (such as bleach).
Glass Ceramic surfaces
– if any spillage becomes burnt on, remove with a ceramic glass cleaner
or scraper and clean with a cleaner-conditioner containing silicone.
Do not allow the ceramic glass surface to become scratched or damaged as this could lead to
a hazard.
