If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat. Pots must never be placed onto the control zones. Always turn the flame down or off before removing pots from the burners. Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite. For an easier ignition of the burner, light it before placing the pan on the pan support. Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the hob as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage. By using a pressure cooker you will obtain further energy-saving and shorter cooking times. As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. Avoid cooking with potstones, earthenware pots or cast iron plates. Also, avoid using aluminiun foil for protecting the top during operation.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine. The Hob Top Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following: - household detergent and bleaches; - impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; - steel wool pads; - bath/sink stain removers. Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that proper cleaning product is used. If scratches or cracks are noticed on the glass top, immediately disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply to avoid the risk of electrical shock. Then, contact your local Service Force Centre and avoid using the appliance until it has been repaired. Pan Supports The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner. Pay attention when replacing the pan supports in order to avoid scratching the glass hob top. 19 The Burners The cap and the crown of each burner are secured with two screws. To separate the two pieces, lift the cap, turn it upside down, then undo the two fixing screws as shown in the diagram. [. . . ] Any unit (furniture unit, household appliance, etc. . ) placed near the unit which the hob is built in, shall not exceed the worktop height. A minimum clearance of 100 mm between the cut-out in the worktop and any side wall exceeding the worktop height must be observed. The hob dimensions and the cut-out dimensions are given in fig. 36 A) Worktop B) Removable Panel Fig. [. . . ]
