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).

n

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.

Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob 

surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or 

steaming foods can ‘stick’ to the ceramic glass. 

Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid 

off the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface. 

Instead, slide the lid to the edge of the hob surface 

and remove.

DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the 

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

n

Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage 

both the hob and pan.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or 

other glazed containers are suitable for hob cooking; others 

may break because of the sudden change in temperature. 
The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order to 

prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty. However, you 

should clean the hob with caution as some cleaners can 

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/pads 

or stain removers on the surface.
We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas 

until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. 

Sugar spills are the exception to this (see 

‘Cleaning your 

Cooker’

). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to 

remove any cleaning cream residue. 

Cooker Care

As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer 

trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe 

away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to 

prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by 

cooking vapours (Fig.1-5).

Cleaning

In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be 

kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food 

stuff could result in a fire.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide. 
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe 

spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some 

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot 

surface.
