Suggestions and
recommendations
* Use pots or pans with thick, comple-
tely flat bottoms.
* 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.
* Recommended diameters of the pot
bottom (see ''Technical Data Sheet''
supplied with the product).
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
condition, 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
steam-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
