The Ceramic Hob

To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is recommended for proper care and protection of the hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off with conditioner.

1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.

2. Liquid Kitchen Cleanser.

3. Special Powder Cleanser.

Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and some foods, may cause ‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey or brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in or under the glass surface. If there are some persistent stains after using any of the other recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, following the manufacturers instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.

Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the surface easier to clean thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.

If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse, soil that collects will appear as fine brown lines; these are not fully removable but can be made less obvious by the daily use of cleaner conditioner. Cooking performance is in no way affected by scratches on the surface.

Pans with aluminium bases should be lifted rather than dragged across the hob surface. This will avoid metal rubbing off the pan onto the glass. Such marks are easily removed by the powder cleanser provided they are not subsequently baked on for long periods at high temperatures.

Surround Trim _ Wipe over with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES.

●If, for some reason, the glass-ceramic should break or crack, turn the appliance off immediately and disconnect it from the power supply.

●Sugar or foodstuffs containing sugar which have spilt onto the glass-ceramic should be removed whilst warm using a glass-ceramic scraper, Fig.1. Failing to do so may damage the appliance.

PLEASE NOTE:Take care when using the glass scraper. To retract the blade cover use the thumb location.

●Grease or oil can catch fire when overheated. For this reason, it is important not to become distracted from the cooking process when preparing food (e.g. chips) using either of these.

WARNING: Do Not keep inflammable materials (e.g. sprays) or utensils which might catch fire beneath the kitchen hob.
