table 2).
When the "safety switch off" function
has been triggered, a 0 is displayed if
the glass surface temperature is not
d
angerous for the user or an H if there
is a burn risk.

Suggestions and
recommendations
* Use pots or pans with thick, comple-
tely flat bottoms.
* Pots/pans with a smaller diameter
than the shown heating area are not
recommended.
* Do not slide pots and pans over the
glass because they could scratch it.
* Although the glass can take knocks
from large pots and pans without
sharp edges, try not to knock it.
* To avoid damaging the ceramic
glass surface, do not drag pots and
pans over the glass and keep the
undersides of them clean and in
good condition.
Try not to spill sugar or pro-
ducts containing sugar on the glass
as while the surface is hot these
could damage it.
Cleaning and maintenance
To keep the appliance in good condi-
tion, clean it using suitable products
and implements once it has cooled
down. This will make the job easier
and avoid the build-up of dirt. Never
use harsh cleaning products or tools
that could scratch the surface, or ste-
am-operated equipment.
Light dirt not stuck to the surface can
be cleaned using a damp cloth and a
gentle detergent or warm soapy water.
However, for deeper stains or grease
use a special cleaner for ceramic hot
plates and follow the instructions on the
bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck due to
being burned repeatedly can be remo-
ved using a scraper with a blade.
Slight tinges of colour are caused by
pots and pans with dry grease residue
underneath or due to grease between
the glass and the pot during cooking.
These can be removed using a nickel
