Ceran smooth top
(Models 735MF and 835MF)
Recommendations ( see also the enclosed ‘CERAN’ leaflet )
•
Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and waste
energy.
•
Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will ensure
even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot zone.
•
Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.
•
Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy cooking
period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the cooking process.
•
A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the surface of the
hob.
•
Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowed to
cool on the Ceran it could pit and damage the surface.
•
Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots.
These will leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the Ceran.

WARNING In the unlikely event of sustaining accidental damage and cracking, switch
off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced before
further use
.
Plate controls—variable
•
Select the heat level by turning the plate control knob to the required setting.
•
1= low , 3 = medium and 6 = high.
•
The relevant pilot light will glow and shortly thereafter the hot surface indicator light
on the hob will glow.
It will remain on for 20 to 30 minutes after switch off. This is a
reminder that the hob surface is still too hot to touch.
Caring for the Ceran hob
•
Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and long lasting
cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned regular-
ly.
•
Wipe spillage off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the hob is still
warm.
•
Clean the hob with a nylon pad and a suitable smooth top cleaning solution, which is availa-
ble from all Defy Service Centres. Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) by applying a small
amount of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice. Other suitable commercially availa-
ble products can also be used.
•
If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.
•
Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran.
•
Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains bright
and attractive.
•
Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.
•
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.
