Protection from damage

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not drop anything on the ce- ramic surface of the grill. Although

the ceramic glass is shatter and scratch resistant, it is not shatter or scratch proof.

Do not use any pots or pans on the grill as these can cause the ap-

pliance to overheat and damage the ce- ramic surface.

Hard objects can scratch the ce- ramic glass. Only use teflon

coated or heat resistant plastic spa- tulas or utensils on the grill.

Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or alumi- nium foil to get on the ceramic surface

while it is hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface pitting or even cracking could occur. Should sugar, plastic or aluminium fall on to the grill, first switch the appliance off, and then immediately, while it is still hot, scrape off all the remains from the grill with a shielded blade scraper, tak- ing great care not to burn yourself on the hot surface.

Clean the cooktop once it has cooled.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Steam could

penetrate to electrical components and cause a short circuit.

In areas subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, keep

the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by pests will not be covered under war- ranty.
