~
Do not use pots and pans on the hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans.
These could scratch or scour the hob surface
permanently.
~
Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can
cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic
surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic
and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and
care").
~
Never heat an empty pan unless the manufacturer of
the pan expressly states that you can do so. This could
damage the appliance.
~
Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt, sugar and sand
(e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a
light object could cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~
To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on,
remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure
that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
