is the ideal method for removing even
the smallest deposits from the hob, and
for removing spillages from hot cooking
zones before they burn onto the hob.
CAUTION:
Be careful when using
the spatula. Its blade can cause in-
juries!
If you use the spatula incorrectly,
the blade may break. If this hap-
pens, do not try to remove the piece with
your hands, use pliers or a knife with a
thin blade carefully. (See Fig. 1)
Use only the spatula blade on the
ceramic surface avoiding its body
coming into contact with the surface as it
may scratch it.
Use the spatula blade only if it is in
perfect condition. Replace the
blade immediately if its integrity is dam-
aged in any way.
Once you are done with the spatu-
la, retract the blade and lock it.
