Before You Begin
EN Initial cleaning
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and ceramic cooktop glass cleaner.
Important: Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners. The surface could be damaged.
Hob Use
Using suitable cookware
Better pans produce better results.
•You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as pos- sible.
•When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufactur- ers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
•Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouration on the ceramic glass surface. The discolouration is very difficult or impossible to remove.
•Do not use pans made of cast iron or which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these pan are slid across the surface.
•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
•If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
