IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Protection from damage
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Although the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof.
Do not use pots or pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges
on the ceramic cooktop. These could permanently scratch or scour the cooktop. See "Selecting cookware" for more information. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch the surface. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils and are dry.
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to get on the cooking zones when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface, pitting or cracking could occur. Should sugar, plastic or aluminium fall on to the cooktop, first turn the appliance off, then immediately scrape off the remains with a shielded blade scraper while the surface is still hot. Take 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 electrical components and cause a short circuit.
