CERAN SMOOTH TOP

WARNING In the unlikely event of sustaining accidental damage and cracking, switch off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced before further use.

Plate controls—variable

Select the heat level by turning the plate control knob to the required setting. You may select any setting, even between numbers. 1= low , 4 = medium and 8 = high.

The relevant pilot light will glow and shortly thereafter the hot surface indicator light on the hob will glow. It will remain on for 20 to 30 minutes after switch off. This is a reminder that the hob surface is still too hot to touch.

Caring for the Ceran hob

Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and long lasting cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned regularly.

Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the hob is still warm.

Clean the hob with a nylon pad and ‘Smooth top cleaner’. A sample of this cleaner is supplied with the unit. Replenishment cleaner is available from all Defy Service Centres.

If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.

Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran.

Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains bright and attractive.

Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.

Recommendations (see also the enclosed ‘CERAN’ leaflet)

Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and waste energy.

Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot zone.

Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.

Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy cooking period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the cooking process.

A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the surface of the hob.

Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowed to cool on the Ceran it could pit and damage the surface.

Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots. These will leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the Ceran.
