Safety When Cleaning
• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or
high pressure cleaner.
• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning in-
structions in this manual.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space.
• The frameless edge of the glass ceramic surface is susceptible to
knocks. Please be careful when moving pots and pans around.
• Do not have the cook zones on with empty pans, or with no pots or
pans on them.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature
changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly
hard or sharp objects fall on to it.
• Do not use pots made of cast iron, or which have damaged bases
with rough edges or burrs. Moving these around may cause
scratches.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone
and melts, remove immediately, while still hot, using a kitchen
scraper. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when re-
moved.
• Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from the ceramic glass
surface, for example, artificial materials, aluminium foil, or cooking
wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs are melting on the ce-
ramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned away immedi-
ately, using a kitchen scraper.
