Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the
ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling

break (Fig. 1.3).
Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the

knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface
since they can get hot.

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 (Fig. 1.5).
