- When the power to the hob is switched off,
there will be no "hot surface" indication
but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take
extreme care.
- Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers
and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may
scratch the glass. Always read the label to
check whether your cleaner or scourer is
suitable.
- Never leave cleaning residue on the hob as
the glass may become stained.
Remove melts and sugary food
or spillovers as soon as possible.
If left to cool on the glass, they may be
difficult to remove or may even permanently
damage the glass surface.
Cut hazard: when the safety cover is
retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-
sharp. Use with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of children.
The hob may beep and turn itself off, and
the touch controls may not function while
there is liquid on them. Make sure you wipe
the touch control area dry before turning
the hob back on.
