Please heed the following information in order to pre
vent damage to your hob and to keep it in good con
dition:
q Saucepans and pans must not have rough bases.
These will scratch the hob.
q Never prepare food in aluminium foil or plastic
containers. The material melts on.
q The bottom of the saucepan, and the hotplate,
must be clean and dry.
q Avoid boiling enamel saucepans dry. This could
cause damage to the base of the saucepan and
the ceramic hob.
q Please observe the manufacturer's instructions
when using special cookware.
q Do not use the hob as a storage space or work
surface. Salt, sugar or sand (can occur when
vegetables are cleaned) can cause scratches on
the hob.
q Ensure that no hard or sharp object is dropped
onto the hob, otherwise it could become damaged
as a result.
q Remove any boiled over food immediately using
the glass scraper. This applies in particular to
melted foodstuffs, sugar, and foodstuffs with high
sugar contents.
q Only clean the hob when it has cooled, i.e., when
the residual heat display no longer illuminates.
If used when the hotplate is hot, agents used for
cleaning and care of the hotplate will cause stains.
q Do not use a protective foil on the hob.
q Do not put hot frying pans or saucepans onto the
hob surround.
