after use. Do not touch the hob until it has been allowed to cool.
• Keep children away from the appliance when in use.
• Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface
when the hob is hot. These materials could melt and cause damage
to the hob.
• Never use the hob top for storage.
• Pan handles should never stand out beyond the edge of the
worktop. This will help ensure children cannot reach them.
• Do not use pans with rough bases (e.g. cast iron) as these may
scratch the hob surface.

10
Ecient Use of Your Hob
Before using your hob for the first time, switch the zones on for a FEW
SECONDS to burn o any grease left over from the manufacturing
process.
The ceramic glass retains heat, so to make best use of the residual
heat, switch o the zone five minutes prior to the end of cooking.
To reduce the cooking time, the zone can be set to the maximum
setting at the beginning of cooking, and then reduced during cooking
time.
The hob is equipped with zones of dierent sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results,
only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate zone
depending on the size of the pan. The most ecient use of the hob is
shown below, where the pan and zone are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimise the energy usage of your
appliance.
Zone Size Minimum Pan Size (mm) Maximum Pan Size (mm)
