Ceramic Hobs; Cooking Zones - Miele H 310 Operating Instructions Manual

In the event of any breakages or
cracks occurring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately
and disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Contact the Service Department.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced. Con-
tinued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate
to the electrical components through
any crack and cause a short circuit.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for any other objects. This
could lead to a danger of the article
catching fire or melting if there is any re-
sidual heat or the hob is switched on in-
advertently.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high tem-
peratures. Additionally, they could dam-
age a ceramic hob as they melt.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or alu-
mium foil to get on to the cooking
zones when they are hot. If this is
allowed to cool before the hob has
been cleaned, the ceramic surface will
be susceptible to pitting or even crack-
ing.
Switch the cooking zones off and while
the hob is still warm, scrape all the
sugar, plastic or aluminium remains
from the hob with a shielded blade
scraper taking care not to burn yourself.
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic hob.
Even a light object such as an egg
cup, could cause damage in certain cir-
cumstances.

Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges, or which are
poorly enamelled.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.
There is a seal between the hob
frame and worktop and between
the frame and the ceramic plate. Do
not use any sharp pointed object, such
as a knife, to clean these seals as they
could become damaged.
When switched on the cooking
areas become hot. Danger of burn-
ing.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill onto a stainless
steel hob or trim. Should this happen
wipe up any spillages containing salt
immediately, to avoid corrosion.
Do not use covers on the enclosed
hotplates. Turning on the hotplate
with the cover still in place could dam-
age the hotplate. Putting a cover on a
damp hotplate could lead to damage
of the hotplate. Condensation trapped
under the cover could cause corrosion.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for any other objects. This
could lead to a danger of the article
catching fire or melting if there is any re-
sidual heat or the hob is switched on in-
advertently
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high tem-
peratures. Additionally they could dam-
age the hob as they melt.
