Preserving and maintaining your hob
Avoid banging pots and pans down on the
hob:
The glass surface is very tough but not unbrea-
kable
Avoid rubbing with any abrasive or with
base of pans etc. as in time this will deteriorate
the markings on the top of your ceramic hob.
Avoid putting your pans on the surround
or rim (dependng on model)
Avoid using pans with rough or dented
bases:
They may hold and transport matter liable to
stain or scratch the hob.
Place your pan in the middle of the
heating zone.
Do not leave an empty pan on a heating
zone.
Any such faults, which are not the cause
of breakdowns nor make the hob impos-
sible to use, are not included in the gua-
rantee conditions.
It is very easy to clean your hob, especially if you follow these few recommendations:
TYPE OF STAIN
Minor
Accumulated burnt-on
stains
Rings and traces of
limescale
Burnt-on stains following
sugar spillage, melted
aluminium or plastic.
