Hob Care

To fully utilise the power of your induction hob and to ensure 
longevity of performance, we recommend the use of AGA 
Rangemaster Induction Pots and Pans.  If you decide to 
purchase an alternative set of pans for use on your induction 
cooker, we would strongly recommend that composite 
aluminium pans with steel inserts, example shown 

Fig. 1.1

, 

are avoided.  This type of pan construction can significantly 
reduce the lifetime and performance of your induction cook 
top. 

NEVER

 cook food directly on the hob surface 

Fig. 1.2

.

DO NOT

 use the hob surface as a cutting board.

DO NOT

 leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible items on 

the hob when it is not in use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans 
containing oil).

DO NOT

 place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic containers, 

on the hob.

DO NOT

 leave the hob zones switched on unless being used 

for cooking.

NEVER

 allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

DO NOT

 stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although 

the ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp 
falling object (e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface to 
crack or break 

Fig. 1.3

.

Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the 
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for its 
repair.

Always

 LIFT

 pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks 

and scratches 

Fig. 1.4

. Always turn the control to the 

OFF

position before removing a pan.

DO NOT

 place anything between the base of the pan and the 

hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, Wok stand).

Take care 

NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS

 onto the Hob surface. 

Lids that have been used to cover a hot pan can “stick” or 
create a “vacuum” effect to the Glass Hob. Should this occur, 

DO NOT

 attempt to lift the lid off the glass surface, this may 

damage the glass. Instead slide the lid to the edge of the 
hob surface and remove, taking care not to scratch the hob 
surface. Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to room 
temperature, the vacuum has been released, then remove the 
lid by lifting it from the hob surface

.

n

Take care NOT to place metallic objects such as 
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface 
since they can get hot.

n

The appliance is not intended to be operated by 
means of external timer or separated remote-control 
system.

Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.

Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage both the 
hob and pan.

DO NOT

 use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/pads or 

stain removers on the surface.
