ADVICE FOR THE SAFE USE OF HOBS - 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 drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic hob. If the surface is broken or damaged unplug the hob and contact the after-sales service. - Do not lean on the cooking zones when they are switched on. - 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. Do not scratch the hob with cutting or sharp objects. Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a work surface.
