How to avoid damage to the appliance
� Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space. � The frameless edge of the glass ceramic surface is susceptible to knocks. Please be careful when moving pots and pans around. � Do not have the cook zones on with empty pans, or with no pots or pans on them. � Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly hard or sharp objects fall on to it. � Do not use pots made of cast iron, or which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Moving these around may cause scratches. � If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately, while still hot, using a kitchen scraper. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed. � Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from the ceramic glass surface, for example, artificial materials, aluminium foil, or cooking wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs are melting on the ceramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned away immediately, using a kitchen scraper.
