Kleenmaid BI80X - Manual (Page 6)

Precautions for use
• The ceramic surface is very strong, however, it is not unbreakable: do not
drop pans onto it.
• Saucepans with damaged bases may trap and transfer materials which
could cause staining or scratching of the hob.
• Do not drag saucepans across the hob surface as in the long term this will
damage the design on the ceramic top.
These faults, which do not prevent operation or use of the hob, are
not covered by the guarantee.
The hob must not be used as a storage area.
• Do not store CLEANING products or any products which might be INFLAM -
MABLE in the unit located under your hob.
• When plugging electrical appliances into a socket nearby, make sure that
the power cable does not come into contact with the cooking zones.
If a crack appears in the ceramic top,
disconnect the appliance
from the power supply immediately
by removing the fuses or activating the circuit breaker.
Do not use any part of the hob until the ceramic top has been

Advice on cooking
• Do not leave an empty pan on a heating zone.
• The pan should be centred on the heating zone.
• Never heat up an unopened tin, it may explode; this advice applies to all
cooking systems.
• When you use a pan with a non-stick lining (Teflon type) to cook with no
fat or very little, preheat it at setting 9 or 10 for a moment.
Never use setting 12:
you may damage your saucepan
• You are advised not to place metal cooking utensils, cutlery, knives and
similar metal objects on the hob. They may become hot if they are near a
functioning cooking zone.
• Using a pan which is smaller than the size of the cooking zone indicated
on the ceramic top is quite acceptable and does not result in a loss of
energy, unlike other, standard hobs (electricity, gas).
When cooking, never use aluminium foil
and never place products wrapped in aluminium foil
directly on the induction hob.
The aluminium will melt and damage your appliance irreparably.
