THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE

----------------------------------------------
The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability)
with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution).
Aluminium : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low
melting point, thin weight aluminium should not be used.
Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Copper Bottom : heavy weight recommended. Good performance, but copper may leave
residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond
to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.
Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thin, flat, smooth bottom.
Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
CLEANING and MAINTENANCE
------------------------------------------------
• Avoid spillages :
Liquids spillages will burn on to the hob and will be very difficult to remove.
Keep all objects that could melt far from the glass hob, such as plastics, tinfoil, sugar. If some-
thing should fall on to the glass hob it must be removed immediately (while the surface is still hot)
to avoid damaging the surface. Take care when removing hot substances.
• For normal, light stains :
When the surface is cool, rub a few drops of cleaning liquid (readily available in the shops) in to
the stain with a damp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until both stain and cleaning liquid
are removed.
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and
abrasions.
• For heavy, burned on stains :
When the surface is cool, apply a few drops of the cleaning liquid to the stain. As with any
burned on spillage, this may require some effort. Carefully scrape soil with a razor scraper. Hold
the scraper at a 30° angle against the hob.
If the stain remains, repeat the above process. For additional protection, after all stains have
been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream. Buff with a dry paper towel.
Carefully scrape stain with a razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the hob.
(store the razor scraper out of reach of children).
