Protection from damage
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface of the cooktop. Although the
ceramic glass is shock and scratch
resistant, it is not shock or scratch
proof.
~
Do not use pots or pans with
pronounced edges or ridges on the
ceramic cooktop. These could scratch
the cooktop permanently. See
"Selecting Cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
also scratch. Make sure that the bases
of any pots and pans are clean, free of
any fat or oils and are dry.
~
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to fall on the burners when they are
hot. If these residues are allowed to
cool on the ceramic surface pitting or
even cracking could occur.
~
Any spills should be removed as
quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult
to remove.
~
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~
Never place hot pots or pans over
the display, as the underlying
electronics may be damaged.
