SAFETY HINTS:
– Before you switch the hob on, make
sure you know which knob controls the
required cooking plate. We advise you
to set the pan over the cooking plate
before switching it on. Remove the pan
after you have switched the cooking
plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware made
of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage
(scratch) the glass surface of the hob.
Make sure that the bottom of the pan is
dry and clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans must
be clean. Carefully remove any food
debris (especially containing sugar), dirt
etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
– Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is
a great danger of knocking the pan
over.
This will also ensure that children
cannot reach them.
– Do not use the hob if the glass sur-
face is broken or cracked in any
way. Please disconnect the cooker
from the mains and contact the
after-sales service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate
when in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic materi-
als on the ceramic surface when it is
hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot
for a long time (about 30 min.) after the
cooking plate has been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
CLEANING THE HOB
Before you begin cleaning make
sure that the appliance is switched
off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure
that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can dam-
age the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner must be removed
with a damp cloth.
Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products items have melt-
ed on the ceramic surface, you should
remove it immediately (when the surface
is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any
permanent damage to the surface of the
hob. (Available under part No. 103138).
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensils
since these can damage the ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob
using a special scraper tool take
extra care to avoid damaging the
seal at the edges of the glass ceramic
surface.
