• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for use on the warming zone;
others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for hotplate cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature. NEVER cook directly on the
hob surface (Fig. 1.2).
• Only certain types stainless steel,
enamelled steel pans or cast iron pans with
enamelled bases are suitable for induction
hob cooking.
• Take care NOT to scratch the surface when
placing cookware on the glass panel.
• DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on
unless being used for cooking.
• DO NOT stand or rest heavy objects on the
hob. Although the ceramic surface is very
strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object
(e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface
to crack or break (Fig. 1.3).
• Should a crack appear in the surface,
disconnect the appliance immediately
from the supply and arrange for its repair.
• Always LIFT pans off the hob. Sliding pans
may cause marks and scratches (Fig. 1.4).
• Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto
the hob surface (Fig. 1.5). Lids that have
been used to cover a hot pan can“stick”
or create a“vacuum”effect to the Glass
Hob. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt
to lift the lid off the glass surface, this may
damage the glass. Instead slide the lid to
the edge of the hob surface and remove,
taking care not to scratch the hob surface.
Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to
room temperature, the vacuum has been
released, then remove the lid by lifting it
from the hob surface.
• DO NOT place anything between the
base of the pan and the hob surface (e.g.
asbestos mats, aluminium foil, wok stand).
• Take care NOT to place metallic objects
such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the
hob surface since they can get hot.
• We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have
cooled and the indicator light has gone off.
Sugar spills are the exception to this (see
‘Cleaning your Cooker’). After cleaning, use
a dry cloth or paper towel to remove any
cleaning cream residue.
• The ceramic surface should be washed after
use in order to prevent it from becoming
scratched or dirty. However, you should
clean the hob with caution as some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
• DO NOT leave the hob unattended. Care
should be taken to not allow your cookware
to boil dry. It will damage your cookware
and Induction Glass Hob.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its
control. DO NOT rely on the pan detector.
Oven care
• When the oven is not in use and before
attempting to clean the appliance ALWAYS
be certain that the control knobs are in the
OFF position.
• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from
potential burns.
• Cooking high moisture content foods can
create a ‘steam burst’when the oven door
is opened (Fig. 1.6). When opening the
oven, stand well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
• The inside door face is constructed with
toughened safety glass. Take care NOT
to scratch the surface when cleaning the
glass panel.
