Cleaning and Maintenance:
How to clean:
•
After each use, clean the surface of each zone once they have cooled down. If
any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will
become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later.
•
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any
unnecessary effort.
•
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.
•
Where possible, do not allow salt to come into contact with the surface of the
electric hob.
Causes of damage:
•
Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
•
Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
•
Sugar can cause the surface to blister if not removed immediately
•
Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the display area or the
surround. This may cause damage.
•
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
•
Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
•
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
•
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause discolouration and/or stains.
•
Spillages can cause discolouration if not removed/cleaned immediately.
•
Dragging or scraping pans across the hob can cause discolouration, pans should
lifted when moving them
