Protecting the appliance from damage
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach
electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also
cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not use pans with very
thin bases on this hob, and never heat up empty pans as they could get dam-
aged. This could also damage the appliance.
There are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in
a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Appliance with a ceramic surface
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause
damaged in certain circumstances.
Stainless steel surface
Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto a stainless steel water
tray. If salty foods or liquids do get on the water tray, they should be removed as
soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrossion.
Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface.
