Do not use the appliance as a resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.
Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.
Do not use pots or pans on the hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.
