Recommendations (see also the enclosed ‘CERAN’ leaflet)
• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time
and waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This
will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and
staining the hot zone.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.
• Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy
cooking period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
• A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the
surface of the hob.
• Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If
allowed to cool on the Ceran it could pit and damage the surface.
• Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality
aluminium pots. These will leave unsightly deposits, which in time, could adhere
to the Ceran.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the oven
• Switch off the electrical power supply before cleaning any part of the appliance.
• Open the oven door and allow the oven to cool down.
• For improved access, the shelves, trays and oven door may be removed. (see
details below)
• Clean the oven with a damp, hot soapy cloth. Do NOT use steam cleaners.
• It may be necessary to soak burnt soils with a liquid cleaner to soften them before
scrubbing them with a nylon brush or scouring sponge.
• Heavy soils on the bottom of the oven may require overnight soaking under a
sponge liberally sprinkled with household ammonia. The soil can then be
removed the following morning by washing normally.
• Do not use metal objects or steel wool to clean the
oven
• For your convenience, the shelves may be removed.
• After cleaning, fit the bottom element into the hooks
of the element guard. Failure to observe this
precaution would al- low the element to rest on and
possibly damage the oven enamel.
