Ceran smooth top.For use with models 600 SU and 600U
Caring for the Ceran hob
• Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and long lasting
cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned
regularly.
• Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the
hob is still warm.
• Clean the hob with a nylon pad and ‘Smooth top cleaner’. A sample tube of cleaner is
supplied with the unit and replacements are available from all Defy Service Centres.
• If necessary, stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.
• Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran.
• Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains
bright and attractive.
• Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.
Recommendations
• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and
waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will
ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot
zone.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.
• Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy
cooking period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
• A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the surface of
the hob.
• Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowed to
cool on the Ceran it could pit and damage the surface.
• Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots.
These will leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the Ceran.
Plate controls
• Select the heat level by turning the relevant plate control knob to the required setting.
• The higher the number selected, the hotter the temperature of the plate will be.
The plate indicator light will glow. Shortly thereafter the hot surface indicator light on the
hob will switch on and will remain on for 20 to 30 minutes after the last plate is switched
off. This is a reminder that the hob surface is still too hot to touch.
WARNING
In the unlikely event of the Ceran panel sustaining accidental damage and cracking, switch
off the power at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced
before further use.
