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:
As soon as any crack in the surface becomes visible, 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. Always turn the control to the OFF position
before removing a pan.
Don’t place anything between the base of the pan and the hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, Wok stand).
Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage both the hob and pan.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for hob cooking;
others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
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 use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/pads, or stain removers, on the surface.
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.
Cooker Care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking
to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven
exterior by cooking vapours.
