Care of the Ceramic Hob

Do Not

Do

In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these simple guidelines:

Do not stare at halogen heating units.

Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this will result in damage to the surface of the hob.

Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.

Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause scratches in the surface of the hob.

Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob surround.

Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats, aluminium or wok stand.

Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it is not in use.

Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob. Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they

are being used.

Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they are switched On.

We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating areas.

Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated areas and have the same diameter as the heating area used.

Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the pan and the hob can cause pitting of the surface of the glass.

We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking areas.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.

Always take extra care when cooking foods with a high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will cause damage to the surface of the glass.

Always clean spills immediately (see Care and Cleaning).
