General Information Notes
(Ceramic Hobs)
Never
Never Stare at Halogen heating units.
Never Cook directly on the hob surface as this will result in
damage to the surface of the hob.
Never use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to
the smooth surface of the hob.
Never drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause
scratches in the surface of the hob.
Never allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob
surround.
Never place anything between the base of the utensil and the
ceramic hob, eg do not use insulated mats, aluminium or
wok stands.
We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater
than 25cm (10 ins).
If hob should become cracked, Never use until repaired.
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.
Never leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob
when it is not in use.
Never place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the
hob.
Never leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched O n unless
they are being used.
We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish
kettles across two heating areas.
Never leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always
ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated areas
and have the same diameter as the heating area used.
