Preserving and maintaining your hob

You must:
Avoid any shocks with recipients etc.:
The glass surface is highly resistant but not
unbreakable.
Avoid rubbing with recipients etc. as in time this
will deteriorate the markings on the top of your
ceramic hob.
Avoid using recipients with rough or dinted
bases:
They may hold and transport matter liable to stain
or scratch the hob.
Any such faults, which are not the cause of
breakdowns nor make the hob impossible to
use, are not included in the guarantee
conditions.
Place your recipient in the middle of the heating
zone.
Use a pan of the right size. The diameter of the
base must be as big as, or bigger than the cooking
zone surface area marked on the ceramic plate.
It is very easy to clean your countertop hob, especially if you follow these few recommendations:
