Type and size of pan
•
Cast iron, stainless steel, or
enamelled steel pans are all suitable
for use on ceramic glass hobs.
•
Aluminium pans will give good
cooking results but care must be
taken in their use. If they are slid
across the surface of the hob they
tend to leave visible marks which
can be difficult to remove.
•
Certain makes / brands of pressure
cookers may not be suitable for use
on ceramic hobs - they do not come
to pressure. Stainless steel pressure
cookers will give optimum results.
•
Glass pans can be used but the glow
from the heating areas transmitted
through transparent glass may
cause some visual discomfort.
•
Avoid using double pans or old
misshapen pans which are
unstable and dangerous.
•
Certain types of copper based
pans may become slightly
concave when heated, which can
result in slower cooking times.
•
Always use pans which are large
enough to avoid overflows onto the
ceramic hob, especially if a pan
contains any sugar / sugar based
substance, as this is corrosive and can
damage the ceramic glass surface.
•
Pan bases should be thick, flat, and
smooth, to ensure maximum contact
with the hob, maximum heat
conduction and rapid cooking times.
•
Pans with dull or dark coloured
bases will give the quickest
cooking results.
•
Pans with highly polished bases
can reflect heat back into the hob
causing the hotplate to cycle on
and off more rapidly than normal,
which can slow down cooking.
•
Pans with thin, dented or ridged
bases should not be used. They
will not make maximum contact
with the hob, which can result in
very slow cooking times.
•
The right size of pan base will
ensure maximum contact with the
hob and rapid cooking times.
•
Use pans with a flat base of
minimum 100mm / 4” diameter
and maximum 280mm / 11”
diameter which are stable in use.
•
Pan bases that are much smaller or
much larger than the hotplate - eg;
by 50mm / 2” - will result in
slower cooking times.

USING THE HOB
Glass parts
FACIA PANEL
,
DOOR PANELS
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth.
Important:
The inner door glass
panel(s) can be removed for cleaning,
but they must be replaced the right
way (so the reflective side faces
inwards) and also pushed fully in to
the stop position. To remove the glass
panel, open the door wide, hold the
edges of the glass and slide out.
Painted, plastic and metal finish
parts
(if fitted)
CONTROL KNOBS
,
DOOR HANDLES
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in
hot soapy water.
Stainless Steel surfaces
(stainless
steel finish models only)
FACIA PANEL
,
HANDLES
,
DOOR PANELS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Stubborn marks can be removed using
“Luneta”. We recommend that you
clean the whole of the stainless steel
area to maintain a uniform finish.
Supplies can be purchased from the
Customer Care Centre.
Do not use undiluted bleach or any
products containing chlorides as they
can permanently damage the steel.
Extra care should be taken when cook-
ing food in salted water. Some foods
are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit juices
and especially
salt
- they can mark or
damage stainless steel if they are left
on the surface. Turn off and wipe any
spillage immediately, taking care to
avoid skin contact with any hot surface
or spillage.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, but marks will become
less noticeable with time.
To maintain the finish of the stainless
steel, or to remove any greasy marks,
wipe the stainless steel surface sparingly
with a
minimum
amount of “Johnson’s
Baby Oil” and kitchen paper.
Do not use cooking oils, as these may
contain salt, which can damage the
stainless steel surface.
