Before You Begin
Initial cleaning
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and ceramic hob glass cleaner.
Important: Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners. The surface could be damaged.
Hob Use
Using suitable cookware
Better pans produce better results.
•
You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and at as
possible.
• When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base.
Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
•
Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouration on the ceramic
glass surface. The discolouration is very difcult or impossible to remove.
•
Do not use pans made of cast iron or which have damaged bases with rough edges or
burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these pan are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should
never be bowed outwards (convex).
•
If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering
pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
