CARE OF THE

CERAMIC HOB

Do Not

In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these simple

guidelines:

Do not

stare at halogen heating units.

Do not

cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this will result

in damage to the surface of the hob.

Do not

use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the smooth

surface of the hob.

Do not

drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause scratches in the

surface of the hob.

Do not

allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob surround.

Do not

place anything between the base of the utensil and the ceramic

hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats, aluminium or wok stand.

Do not

leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it

is not in use.

Do not

place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob.

Do not

leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are being

used.

Do not

leave heating zones uncovered when they are switched On.

We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating

areas.

Do not

leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always ensure that

they are placed centrally over the heated areas and have the same

diameter as the heating area used.

Always

ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean and dry. Dirt or moisture

between the pan and the hob can cause pitting of the surface of the glass.

We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base diameter greater than 25cm

(l0ins).

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking areas.

Always

ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.

Always

take extra care when cooking foods with a high sugar content eg. jam, as

spillage will cause damage to the surface of the glass.

Always

clean spills immediately (see Care and Cleaning).
