• Do not use the glass ceramic surface of the hob as a griddle.
• Do not leave hotplates on without a pan or an empty pan.
• Be aware that hotplates will retain heat whilst cooling down.
• When cooking foods with high sugar content, ensure that any spillage is removed immediately
to avoid damage to the ceramic surface.
HELPFUL HINTS

8
• Always use the correct diameter pan, one that is the same or slightly larger than the hotplate.
• The bottom of the pan must be flat.
• Whenever possible keep the lid on the pan when cooking.
• Avoid over-spill of liquid by reducing the heat when boiling has occurred.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Always allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning to avoid a burn injury.
Do not use caustic or abrasive agents, coarse wire wool or hard tools as these can damage the surface
finish.
Normally, wiping with a soft cloth dampened with hot detergent and drying with a soft cloth is
sufficient but for stubborn marks the following is recommended:
Vitreous Enamel or Stainless Steel parts – use only a cleaner that is recommended for these types of
material – avoid chloride based products (such as bleach).
Glass Ceramic surfaces – if any spillage becomes burnt on, remove with a ceramic glass cleaner or
scraper and clean with a cleaner-conditioner containing silicone.
Do not allow the ceramic glass surface to become scratched or damaged as this could lead to a
hazard.
