INFLAMMABLE
products in the cupboard under your hob.
● Do not leave an empty pan on a heating
zone.
● Do not heat up a closed can. It may
burst,this recommendation applies to all
methods of cooking.
● Do not leave a casserole or a pan
containing hot fat or oil unattended on the
cooking zone
● Do not put any pan on your frame or plate.
● Do not clean the frame or the plate with any
abrasive
● Avoid any shocks with pans etc.:
The glass surface is highly resistant but not un-
breakable.
● Avoid rubbing with any abrasive or with the
base of pans etc. as in time this will deteriorate
the markings on the top of your ceramic hob.
● Avoid using pans with rough or dented
bases:
They may hold and transport matter liable to stain
or scratch the hob.
● Place your pan in the middle of the heating
zone.
Use a pan of the right size. The diameter of
the base must be as big as, or bigger than
the cooking zone surface area marked on
the ceramic plate.
Any such faults, which are not the cause of
breakdowns nor make the hob impossible
to use, are not included in the guarantee
conditions.
