Preserving and maintaining your hob
● Avoid banging pots and pans down on the hob:
The glass surface is very tough but not unbrea-
kable
● Avoid rubbing with any abrasive cleaners or with
base of pans etc. as in time this will deteriorate
the marking on the top of your ceramic hob.
● Avoid putting your pans on the surround or rim
(depending on model)
● Avoid using pans with rough or dented
bases:
They may hold and transport matter liable to stain
or scratch the hob.
● Place your pan in the middle of the heating
zone.
● Do not leave an empty pan on a heating
zone.
Any such faults, which are not the cause of
breakdowns nor make the hob impossible
to use, are not included in the guarantee
