Hob guidelines
oThe first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated use.
oThe worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and
power.
oThe positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on
the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these
zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same
diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
oYou should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch
the ceramic surface.
oBefore use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean
and dry.
oWhen cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they
expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow
the heat to transfer more easily.
oThe best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 –3 mm of
enamelled steel and 4 –6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type
bottoms.

16
oIf these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat
and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the
hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
oPreferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
oAlways cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce
cooking times.
oFood or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top
if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any spillages
should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the
hob surface from becoming damaged.
oIMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is not
unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard
objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
oDO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN OR
CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE CUSTOMER CARE
DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when
the hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the ceramic hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using warm water mixed with a little washing
up liquid.
You may find it easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. However you should take care not to burn
yourself if cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.
