Preserving and maintaining your hob

Avoid banging pots and pans down on the hob:
The glass surface is very tough but not unbrea-
kable
Avoid rubbing with any abrasive or with base
of pans etc. as in time this will deteriorate the
markings on the top of your ceramic hob.
Avoid using pans with rough or dented
bases:
They may hold and transport matter liable to stain
or scratch the hob.
Any such faults, which are not the cause of
breakdowns nor make the hob impossible
to use, are not included in the guarantee
conditions.
Place your pan in the middle of the heating
zone.
Use a pan of the right size. The diameter of
the base must be as big as, or bigger than
the cooking zone surface area marked on
the ceramic plate.
It is very easy to clean your hob, especially if you follow these few recommendations:
TYPE OF STAIN
Minor
Accumulated burnt-on
stains
Rings and traces of
limescale
Burnt-on stains following
sugar spillage, melted
aluminium or plastic.
