Recommendations
• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base can prolong cooking times
and waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even
heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot
plate.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimise spillage.
• Thermal shock could damage the plates. Do not put cold pots on very hot plates.
Plate controls - variable
• Select the heat level by turning the knob to the required
setting.
• You may select any setting.
• 1= low, 3 = medium and 6 = high.
• The illuminated display will glow, when the plate is
switched on.
CERAN SMOOTH TOP
WARNING In the unlikely event of sustaining accidental damage and cracking,
switch off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel
replaced before further use.
Plate controls - variable
• Select the heat level by turning the plate control knob to the required setting. You
may select any setting, even between numbers. 1= low, 3 = medium and 6 = high.
• The relevant pilot light will glow and shortly thereafter the hot surface indicator
light on the hob will glow. It will remain on for 20 to 30 minutes after switch off.
This is a reminder that the hob surface is still too hot to touch.
Caring for the Ceran hob
• Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and
long lasting cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with
care and cleaned regularly.
• Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably
while the hob is still warm.
• Clean the hob with a nylon pad and ‘Smooth top cleaner’. A sample of this
cleaner is supplied with the unit. Replenishment cleaner is available from all Defy
Service Centres.
• If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.
• Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the
Ceran.
• Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob
remains bright and attractive.
• Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.
