Hob Care
Never cook directly on the hob surface.
Do not use the hob surface as a cutting board.
Do not leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible items on
the hob when it is not is use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).
Do not place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic containers,
on the hob.
Do not leave the hob zones switched on unless being used
for cooking.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the
ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling
object (e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface to crack or
break.
Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for its
repair.
Always LIFT pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks
and scratches. Always turn the control to the OFF position
before removing a pan.
Do not place anything between the base of the pan and the
hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, Wok stand).
Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage both the
hob and pan.
Do not use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/pads or
stain removers on the surface.
We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas
until they have cooled and the residual heat indicator has
gone out. Sugar spills are the exception to this (see
‘Cleaning
your Hob’
). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove any cleaning cream residue.
Cleaning
The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order to
prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the hob should be kept
clean at all times as a build up in fats and other foodstuffs
could result in a fire.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
