Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a heavy 

or sharp falling object (a salt cellar for example) 

might cause the surface to crack. If you fi nd a crack 

in the surface immediately disconnect the appliance 

from the supply and arrange for its repair.

Care should be taken that no water seeps into the 

appliance.

The areas marked with two concentric circles have 

an inner and an outer element. Turn the control knob 

clockwise to heat the whole area for larger pans 

- turn it the other way to just heat the inner part for 

smaller pans.

Never cook directly on the surface.

The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food 

affects the setting required. Higher settings are 

required for larger quantities of food. 

Naturally, the surface must be washed after use 

in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or 

dirty.

When cooking on the hob you may see the 

hob area you are using switch off and on. 

This is caused by a safety device that limits 

the temperature of the hob. It is quite normal, 

especially when cooking at high temperatures. If 

it happens a lot with a particular pan however it 

may mean the pan is not suitable – perhaps too 

small or too uneven - for a ceramic hob.

Sugar spillage will permanently damage the 

hob and therefore must be cleaned off with care 

immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before 

trying to remove it.

If sugar or foods with high sugar content, 

aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally 

allowed to melt on the hob surface remove them 

immediately from the hot cooking area using 

a scraper to avoid any possible damage to the 

surface. See ‘Cleaning your cooker’.

Never cut directly on the cooking surface.

Don’t cook directly on the hob surface i.e. 

without a pan or utensil

Don’t use the hob as a work surface

Don’t drag or slide utensils across the hob 

surface

Don’t place anything between the base of the 

pan and the hob surface (i.e. asbestos mats, 

aluminium foil, Wok stand)

Don’t leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible 

items on the hob when it is not in use. (e.g. tea 

towels, frying pans containing oil)

Don’t place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic 

containers on the hob

Don’t leave the hob zones switched on unless 

being used for cooking

Don’t place large preserving pans or fi sh kettles 

across two heating zones

Don’t place utensils partly covering a heating 

zone. Always place utensils centrally.

Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the 

hob.
