• The ceramic surface should be washed after
use in order to prevent it from becoming
scratched or dirty. However, you should clean
the hob with caution as some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
• DO NOT leave the hob unattended. Care
should be taken to not allow your cookware
to boil dry. It will damage your cookware and
Induction Glass Hob.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its
control.
DO NOT rely on the pan detector.
Oven care
• When the oven is not in use and before
attempting to clean the appliance
ALWAYS be
certain that the control knobs are in the
OFF
position.
• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from
potential burns.
• Cooking high moisture content foods can
create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door is
opened (Fig. 1.6). When opening the oven,
stand well back and allow any steam to
disperse.
• The inside door face is constructed with
toughened safety glass. Take care
NOT to
scratch the surface when cleaning the glass
panel.
• Accidental damage may cause the door glass
panel to fracture.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.
• Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly to
the back of the oven. DO NOT close the door
against the oven shelves.
• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves,
linings or the oven roof.
• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the
oven door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the control knobs may become very
hot.
• DO NOT use the timed oven if the adjoining
oven is already warm.
• DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be
timed.
• DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm.
• Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using
damp gloves might result in steam burns
when you touch a hot surface.
Hob care
• NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the
hob.
• DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting board.
• DO NOT leave utensils, foodstus or
combustible items on the hob when it is not in
use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans containing oil).
• DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or
plastic containers on the hob.
• ALWAYS turn the control to the OFF position
before removing a pan.
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage both the hob and pan.
Cooker care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the
cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary
during cooking to wipe away any moisture with
a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling
and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking
vapours (Fig. 1.7).
