They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.
Before using for the first time General notes Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet. Cleaning and heating up for the first time Before using for the first time clean the appliance with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.

Use Suitable pans Energy saving tips – For optimum energy consumption during cooking, only pans with flat or very slightly concave bases should be used. When the pan is hot, the base should rest evenly on the hob. Uneven bases will lengthen cooking time. Check for suitability when purchasing new pans. – Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. uncovered cold hot – Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily.
Use Overheating protection Overheating can be caused by: Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection. An internal temperature limiter switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats. – switching on a cooking zone without a pan on it. Once the ceramic has cooled down to a safe level, the heating will automatically switch back on again. – heating up an empty pan. – the base of a pan not sitting evenly on the cooking zone.

Do not use any sharp objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame and between the frame and the worktop.
Cleaning and care Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot cooking zone while it is in use, first switch off the appliance. Then, immediately, while they are still hot, scrape off all remains of these materials using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the hob to cool down and then clean with a suitable proprietary ceramic cleaner.
