Ceramic Care - Rangemaster Excel 110 Ceramic User's Manual & Installation Instructions

Ceramic care

• Take care when touching the marked cooking areas of
the hob.
• Use adequately sized pans with flat bottoms that are
large enough to cover the surface of the hotplate
heating area. The use of undersized pans will expose a
portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in the ignition of clothing.
• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for use on
the warming zone; others may break because of the
sudden change in temperature.
• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate
cooking; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature. NEVER cook directly on the hob
surface (Fig. 1.1).
• Only certain types stainless steel, enamelled steel pans
or cast iron pans with enamelled bases are suitable for
induction hob cooking.
• Take care NOT to scratch the surface when placing
cookware on the glass panel.
• DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless being
used for cooking.
• 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 (Fig. 1.2).
• Should a crack appear in the surface, 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 (Fig. 1.3).
• Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto the hob
surface (Fig. 1.4). Lids that have been used to cover
a hot pan can "stick" or create a "vacuum" effect to
the Glass Hob. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt
to lift the lid off the glass surface, this may damage
the glass. Instead slide the lid to the edge of the hob
surface and remove, taking care not to scratch the hob
surface. Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to
room temperature, the vacuum has been released, then
remove the lid by lifting it from the hob surface.
• DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan
and the hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil,
wok stand).
• Take care NOT to place metallic objects such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface since they can
get hot.
