■
Cooking zones may become damaged if

■
Even small objects may cause a great
deal of damage if they come into con-
tact with glass ceramic in a punctiform
manner. Do not allow objects to fall onto
the glass ceramic.
■
Do not push heavy pans across the hob;
this may scratch the glass ceramic.
■
Do not place any magnetisable objects
(such as credit cards) near or on the hob,
as they may be damaged by the electro-
magnetic fi eld.
■
Wipe the hob and the base of the pots
prior to use to wipe away any dirt which
may cause scratches.

Do not use the hob as a work surface or
a storage area. Otherwise, materials that
are sensitive to heat such as plastic dish-
es could become damaged.
■
Never place cookware, baking sheets or
aluminium foil directly on the bottom of
the oven. This will cause heat to build up,
which can damage the enamel of the
oven.
■
Prior to cleaning, allow the hob to cool
completely.
■
Do not use any harsh detergents, scour-
ing agents, abrasive powder or steel
sponges; they can damage the surface.
■
Clean and maintain the hob regularly
with a special care product containing a
special impregnating oil for glass ceram-
ic hobs. Such products can be found in
specialist shops.
■
Avoid getting sugar, citric acid, plastic,
salt, etc. in solid and liquid states onto
the hot glass ceramic. If this happens, re-
move the dirt from the still-hot glass ce-
ramic with a sharp, commercially avail-
able scraper. Protect your hands from
burns while doing so.
