Using the ceramic glass hob

Ceramic glass surface

The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand

heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it

is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass

surface.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect

the cooker from the electrical supply and call

you nearest Service Force Centre.

Keep all objects and materials which can melt

away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics,

aluminium foil.

Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks

containing sugar. If anything of this nature

accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic

surface it must be scraped off immediately while

stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the

surface.

Energy consumption

To save energy, you should:

use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat

bases.

place pots and pans in position before switching on

the cooking zone.

wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.

switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the

end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the

residual heat.

use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping

food warm or for melting.

position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.

Saucepans and frying pans

Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than

the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15

mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.

Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat

bases.

The bases should always be clean and dry. Cook with a

lid in place.

Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and

undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will

scratch the ceramic glass surface.

To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking

surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by

lifting them, and not by sliding.

Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave

behind metallic discolourations which can only be

removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.
