Ceramic glass surface
Cleaning
Do not use abrasive powder cleaners,
“Brillo” pads, metal wire, detergents,
bleaches, bath stain removers, or chemical
oven cleaners; all these product types
will damage the ceramic glass.
The following recommendations will
help to keep the ceramic glass surface
bright and clean.
Allow the hob to cool.
Use a dampened paper towel or clean
damp cloth to apply a small dab of
cleaner conditioner to clean each
heating area.
Use another paper towel or a clean
dry soft cloth to wipe dry, and then
polish the whole glass surface.
To remove any stubborn marks or
heavy soiling, a non scratching, mild
cream cleaner may be used - eg; “Cif”.
Alternatively, a ceramic hob scraper may
be used (eg; “4:: Hob” by Homecare*).
Important:
If you use a wet paper
towel or clean damp cloth to remove
spillage from a warm heating area of the
hob, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Care and maintenance
Before using the hob for the first time,
apply a thin coating of cleaner conditioner
(eg; “Hob Brite”, by Homecare*) to
the ceramic glass only, and polish the
surface with a clean cloth.
The conditioner gives a protective
covering to the ceramic glass which
not only makes the hob easier to
clean, but also ensures that you will
gain maximum life out of this product.
Occasional use will help prevent the
build up of mineral deposits which can
cause discolouration of the hob surface.
Discolouration of the hob
Do not use a dishcloth or dish sponge
to wipe the hob - this can leave a film
of detergent on the surface which will
discolour the hob next time a heating
area is used. Clean cloths kept for the
cleaning of the hob can be used.
Do not use too much cleaner
conditioner - only a thin coating is
required, any excess may burn on and
discolour the hob when it is next in use.
If persistent stains or marks remain on
the ceramic glass surface, it can be
cleaned using a mild cream cleaner - eg;
“Cif”, or a ceramic hob scraper. This will
also remove any accumulated salts or
minerals before they have an opportunity
to discolour the ceramic glass.
Wipe clean with a damp paper towel
or clean damp cloth and re-apply
cleaner conditioner.

CARE & CLEANING
To save energy
•
Always position pans centrally
over the heating area.
•
Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.
•
When liquids boil, reduce the
control setting to maintain a simmer.
•
Consider the use of a pressure
cooker for the cooking of a
complete meal.
•
Vegetables will cook quicker if
chopped in smaller pieces.
•
Larger heating elements are ideal
for faster cooking methods, such as
boiling or frying, and for larger pans.
Smaller heating elements are ideal
for simmering and stewing, and
for smaller pans.
•
Do not use a pan which is too
small or too large for the heating
area - refer to notes on next page.
Choice of pans
The choice of cookware is important
if you are to achieve maximum
benefit from cooking with a ceramic
hob.
Ceramic hobs are not only easy to
clean, they are also energy efficient if
you use the right pans to suit the surface.
When buying new pans, always refer
to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
For best results and energy efficiency,
it is important to use flat bottomed
pans of the correct type, especially on
ceramic glass hobs.
Always use pans which are large
enough to prevent spillage, especially
for deep frying, or when cooking with
a sugar based substance.
Trivets, round based woks, heat
diffuser pads and over-sized pans are
not recommended.
Do not use double pans, rim based
pans, old misshapen pans or any pan
which is unstable when placed on a
flat surface.
