Hob Care

Never cook directly on the hob surface.
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.
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. 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 metallic objects such as 

knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface 

since they can get hot.

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.
We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas 

until they have cooled and the residual heat indicator has 

gone out. Sugar spills are the exception to this (see 

‘Cleaning 

your Hob

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

remove any cleaning cream residue.

Cleaning

The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order to 

prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the hob should be kept 

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

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.
