Warning and Safety instructions
~
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances should not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~
Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,
sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning
vegetables) can cause scratches.
~
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when
they are hot. If this should occur,
switch off the appliance, and carefully
scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the hob whilst
they are still hot, using a shielded
scaper blade. Take care not to burn
yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean with a suitable proprietary
ceramic hob cleaner.
~
To prevent the risk of spillages etc.
burning on, remove any soiling as
quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.

~
This hob is fitted with a cooling fan.
If a drawer is fitted directly underneath
the hob, ensure that there is sufficient
space between the drawer and its
contents and the underside of the
appliance in order to ensure sufficient
ventilation for the hob. Do not store
small items or paper in the drawer.
They could get in through the
ventilation slots or be sucked into the
housing by the fan and damage the fan
or impair cooling.
~
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. Take
particular care never to place cutlery or
other metal objects on the appliance.
When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal objects heating
up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the hob could also melt
or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~
Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g.
cast iron pans. These could scratch or
scour the hob surface permanently.
