Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the cooking zone is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.
Important! Beware of children in the vicinity as the warning lights indicating residual heat are out of sight to them. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking zone remains hot for a certain period of time. Make sure that children never touch the hob.
Do not leave metal objects on the hob: they could get very hot.
