Preserving and maintaining your hob

You must:

Avoid any shocks with pans:
The glass surface is highly resistant but not un-
breakable.

Avoid rubbing with any abrasive or with the
base of pans etc. as in time this will deteriorate
the markings on the top of your ceramic hob.

Avoid using pans with rough or dinted
bases
:
They may hold and transport matter liable to
stain or scratch the hob.

Any such faults, which are not the cause of
breakdowns nor make the hob impossible
to use, are not
included in the guarantee conditions.

Place your pan in the middle of the heating
zone.

Use a pan of the right size. The diameter of the

base must be as big as, or bigger than the

cooking zone surface area marked on the

ceramic plate.
