Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and
prevent pan damage:

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap
and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts
once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on
food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck
to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and
grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the
pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and
scrub with a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that
these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan
support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water
droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking
may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner
caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.
Caution!
Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.
■
If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never use
■
a knife, scraper or similar implement to clean the point where
it joins the metal.

Use pans which are the right
size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame must
not touch the sides of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on the
hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat
base.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will
prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you
will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on
the hob.
To protect the surface of the electric hob, treat it with oil or any
protective product available on the market.
Avoid spilling salt on the surface of the electric hob.
Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner and the
stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.) can
change colour. This is normal. After each use, clean these
areas with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.
It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our
Technical Assistance Service (code 464524) is used regularly.
Caution!
The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around
the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.
Do not cook without using a lid
and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pan over the
burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on the
burners near the control
knobs. These may be
damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps are
correctly positioned before
using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on the
hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do
not place excessive weight on
it.
