Safety When Cleaning
For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high pres
sure cleaner.
Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instruc
tions in this manual.
How to Avoid Damage to Your Appliance
Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans, or without pans.
Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock and very robust, however
it is not unbreakable. Hard and sharp objects, in particular, can damage the
cooking surface if they fall on it.
Do not use cast iron pans or pans with damaged bases that are rough or
burred. Scratching may occur when the pans are slid.
Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching may occur or the paint
damaged.
Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or scale remover do
not come into contact with the hob frame, otherwise matt spots will ap
pear.
If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into contact with a hot cooking
zone and then melts, remove the soiling immediately whilst still hot using a
scraper. If it cools, damage to the surface may occur on removal.
Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the ceramic glass
surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this na
ture should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed
immediately using the scraper.
If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering
pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Avoid boiling pans dry. The bases could be irreparably damaged in the pro
cess and the glass ceramic cooking surface also damaged.
