Safety Hints, Cleaning the Hob

Safety Hints:

–Before you switch the hob on, make sure you know which knob controls the required cooking plate. We advise you to set the pan over the cooking plate before switching it on. Remove the pan after you have switched the cooking plate off.

–Do not use pots and pans with rough bases (pay attention to cookware made of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage (scratch) the glass surface of the hob.

Make sure that the bottom of the pan is dry and clean.

–Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob.

–Do not leave wet or damp lids on the hob.

–The glass-ceramic surface and pans must be clean. Carefully remove any food debris (especially containing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.

–Pan handles should never stand out beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is a great danger of knocking the pan over.

This will also ensure that children cannot reach them.

–Do not use the hob if the glass surface is broken or cracked in any way. Please disconnect the hob from the mains and contact the after-sales service.

–Do not lean over the cooking plate when in use.

–Do not lay cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when it is hot.

–Remember that the surface remains hot for a long time (about 30 min.) after the cooking plate has been switched off.

–Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.

Cleaning the Hob

Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.

Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.

	If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive or scouring powders
	can damage the glass surface of the hob.
	All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
	Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic,
	aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.
	If any of these products items have melted on the ceramic surface,
	you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot)
	by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface
	of the hob. (Available under part No. 103138).
	Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensils since these can damage
	the ceramic.
