IMPORTANT!
A ceramic glass hob may occasionally switch
on and off when higher heat settings are used.
This is due to a safety device, which prevents
the glass from overheating.
• Some switching on and off when cooking at
high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is
quite normal, causes no damage to the hob
and little delay in cooking times.
• Excessive switching may however be
caused by the use of an unsuitable sauce-
pan or a saucepan which is smaller than the
heated area. If excessive switching occurs,
discontinue use of the saucepan.
Hints and tips when using the
hob
• Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off
the hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches
and metal marks from saucepans with
aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily
cleaned off providing they are not allowed to
burn on.
• Follow any guidelines provided by the sau-
cepan manufacturer, particularly those re-
lating to recommended heat settings.
• Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases
should not be used.
• Never leave the hob on when not covered
with a saucepan.
• Ensure that the hob and saucepans are
clean and dry before the start of cooking.
• Follow the cleaning instructions very closely
to keep the hob looking like new.
• If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the
hob before it sets and becomes hard other-
wise damage to the hob will occur.
• Make sure that the hob is switched off after
using it.
• Avoid the use of decorative covers with sold
hotplate as they can cause cendensation to
form on the hotplates which may lead to
deterioration.
