[. . . ] − As the cooking zone remains hot for some time after the cooktop is switched off, turn the zone off a few minutes before the end of cooking. The residual heat will complete the cooking. ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE COOKTOP − Before switching on make sure that you have the correct knob for the hotplate chosen. It is advisable to put the pan on the hotplate before switching on and to take it away after switching off. − Use cookware with flat and even bottoms (be careful when using cast iron vessels). Uneven bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful that the bottom is clean and dry. − Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the cooker, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking vessels. − Do not lean over the cooking zones when they are switched on. − Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop. If the surface is broken or damaged unplug the cooktop and contact the aftersales service. − Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the cooking zones when they are hot. − Remember that the cooking zones remain hot for some time after they are switched off (about 30 min. ). − Follow the cleaning instructions carefully. − If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call the After-Sales Service. Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects. Do not use the glass ceramic cooktop as a work surface. 30 M 30 Y N C CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP Make sure that the cooktop is switched off before cleaning it. Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which can be bought. Detergents can be used, but they must not be abrasive or corrosive. Any remaining detergent must be completely removed with a damp cloth. Do not put any objects on the cooktop which can melt with heat, such as plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugar products. If any object melts on the cooktop, remove it immediately (while the cooktop is still hot) using a special scraper, to prevent any irreversible damage to the glass ceramic surface.
