Use Only Dry Potholders

- Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Use Proper Pan Size

- This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings

- Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place

- Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Protective Liners

- Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Glazed Cooking Utensils

- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units

- To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements

- Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top

- If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Clean Cook-Top With Caution

- If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Personal safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, in the event of a grease fire, observe the following:

• Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother sheet or flat tray.
• Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
• Let fat cool before attempting to handle it.
• Wipe up spill over immediately.
• If you are “flaming” liquors or other spirits under an exhaust, turn the fan off. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
• Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting. Boil over cause smoking and greasy spill over, which may ignite.

CAUTION

• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot Surface. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
• Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
  • Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
• Leave the hood ventilator on when

flambéing food only if there is smoke without flames.

Use an extinguisher only if

• You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
• Never use water on cooking fires.
• In the event that personal clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burn injuries during cooktop use, observe the following:

• Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
• Children or pets should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

CAUTION

• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range;
• children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

When using the cooktop

- Do not touch surface units or areas near units. Surface areas may become hot enough to cause burns. Surface elements may be

hot even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch or let flammable materials contact heating elements until they have had time to cool.

When using the cooktop installed over oven

• Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are (identification of surfaces – for example, oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors).

- To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the cooktop without extending over any nearby surface units.

- Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use

This will avoid permanent damage to the surface.

Use of the heating areas

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with four surface units of different size. Select utensils having sturdy flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency. Never leave surface units unattended at high setting. Boilover causes smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Caution should be taken not to forget the heaters connected if a pot is not placed on them.

Care should be taken not to place big pots too close to any heat sensitive elements of the surface where the hob is built in.

Do not cook food directly on the surface of the hob. Your glass-ceramic hob is not a griddle and should not be used for this purpose. However attractive the idea may seem, it will only create problems that are better avoided, as the food is bound to stick to the surface.

Control panel

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with four surface units of different size. Select utensils having sturdy flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.

FUNCTION

Switching the Touch Control ON/OFF

After mains voltage is applied the control initialises for approx. 1 second before it is ready for operation. After a reset all display and LEDs glow for approx. 1 second. When this time is over all displays and LEDs extinguish and the control is in the stand-by mode. By operating the ON/OFF key the control can be turned into the ON-mode. The cooking zone displays shows a static "0".

If a cooking zone is in the "hot" status, the display shows a static "H" instead of "0". The bottom right dot is blinking in 1 second intervals on all cooking zone display to indicate that no cooking zone is selected at the moment.

After switching-ON the electronic control remains activated for 20 seconds. If no cooking zone or timer selection follows within the period of time, the electronic control automatically switches back into the stand-by-mode.

The control can only be switched-ON if it identifies the ON/OFF key alone being operated. Should it recognize key activation other than that, the control remains in the stand-by-mode.

If the child safety feature is active when switching on, all cooking zone show "L" (LOKED). (also refer to 1.9).

If the cooking zones are in a "hot" status, the display shows "L" and "H" in alternation.

When the Touch Control is ON it can be switched-OFF at any time by operating the ON/OFF key. This is also valid if the control has been locked (activated child safety feature).

The ON/OFF key has always priority in the switch-OFF function.

Automatic switch-OFF

When the control is ON it automatically switches-OFF after 20 seconds if no cooking zone or select key has been operated within this period of time. If case of a cooking zone selection, the automatic switch-OFF time is composed of 10 seconds deselection time for a cooking zone at setting "0" and 10 seconds switch-OFF time.

Switching a cooking zone ON and OFF

If the control is ON the respective cooking zone can be selected by operating a cooking-zone-select-key (=PLUS-key of the respective cooking zone). There is a static dot indication in the respective display. If the cooking zone is hot "0" is displayed instead of "H". On all other cooking zone displays the blinking dot extinguishes. Then a setting will be chosen by a renewed operation of the cooking- zoneselect-key or the MINUS-key and the cooking zone begins to heat up. In order to use the cooking-zone-select-key as a PLUS-key the control has to recognize that after the selection the cooking zone has been released for 0,3 seconds.

After selection of a cooking zone the setting can be increased by continuously pressing the PLUS-key, starting at step "1" it is increased by 1 step every 0,4

seconds. When setting "9" is reached the setting will not be changed further (end stop).

If the selected cooking zone will be switched ON by means of the MINUS key, the cooking zone starts at the maximum setting "9" ("reverse switching-ON").

When the key is continuously operated, it decreases by 1 step every 0,4 seconds. When setting "0" is reached, there will be no further setting changed (end stop). Only a renewed operation of the MINUS (or PLUS) key changes the setting.

Switching OFF an individual cooking zone

To switch off an individual cooking zone, the respective cooking zone has to be selected with the cooking-zone-selectkey (= PLUS). The selection is indicated with the static dot in the respective cooking zone display. If the control recognizes that the PLUS-(cooking-zone-select-key is the PLUS-key) and the MINUSkey have been activated simultaneously the setting of the selected cooking zone will be put back to "0".

Alternatively, the MINUS-key can be used to count down the setting to "0". If all cooking zones are at "0", all decimal points in the cooking zone displays are blinking. If a cooking zone is "hot", "H" will be displayed instead of "0".

Switching-OFF all cooking zones:

Immediate switching-OFF of all cooking zones can be achieved anytime by means of the ON/OFF key. In the standby-mode an "H" appears on all cooking zones which are "hot". All other cooking zone displays are not illuminated.

Wattage settings

The output of the cooking zones can be set in 9 steps which are indicated by the figures "1" thru "9" by means of LED sevensegment-displays.

Automatic heat-up function (selectable)

When the automatic heat-up function is activated the wattage of the cooking zone is at 100 % ED for a certain heat-up time which is dependent on the selected (continuous) setting.

At the end of the heat-up time the electronic control switches back to the preselected simmering setting.

Starting process of the automatic heat-up:

• Control is ON and a cooking zone will be selected
• The automatic heat-up will be activated by operating the PLUS-key for a second time.
• The requested continuous setting will be selected with the PLUS- and MINUS-key, the chosen setting appears in the display.
• 3 seconds after the last key operation (selection of the setting) and within 16 seconds after activation of the heat-up function, the symbol "A" (which

stands for the heat-up boost) appears on the display, in alternation with the chosen setting.

• If a lower setting will be selected with the MINUS-key after the "A" has appeared in the display, the automatic heat-up function will be interrupted.
• By means of the PLUS-key a higher continuous setting can be chosen, here the duration of the heat-up boost will be automatically adapted to the actual selected setting.
• When the heat-up time is over, the selected (continuous) setting will be indicated on the display.

Residual heat indicator

It is meant to indicate to the user that the glass ceramic has a dangerous touch temperature in the circumference of a cooking zone. The temperature will be determined following a mathematical model and the remaining residual heat will be indicated by means of "H" on the corresponding 7-segmentdisplay. Heating-up and cooling down will be calculated dependent on

• the selected setting ("0" to "9")
• the ON/OFF time of the relays After switching-OFF the cooking zone the respective display shows "H" until the assigned cooking zone temperature is mathematically in a uncritical level. (≤ 60°C).

Automatic power OFF function (operating time limitation)

Dependent on the selected setting, every cooking zone will be switched-OFF after a defined maximum operation time if no operation of the assigned cooking zone follows within this time period.

Every change of the cooking zone condition (by means of the PLUS-, MINUS- or dualcircuit key for the respective cooking zone) puts back the maximum operation time of this cooking zone to the initial value of the operating time limitation.

The maximum operation time dependent on the selected cooking zone is defined in enclosure 1.14

Protection against unintended switching-ON

• If the electronic control realizes a continuous operation of keys for approx. 10 seconds, it switches OFF automatically. The control sends out an audible failure signal for 10 seconds, so that the user can remove the object which has been mistakenly placed onto the operation surface. The displays show the failure code "E R 0 3".
• If the failure carries on for more than 10 seconds, only the code "E R 0 3" will be displayed as long as the failure will be recognized by the electronic control. If the cooking zone is in the "hot" status, "H" will appear on the display in alteration with the failure notice.

• If no cooking zone will be activated within 20 seconds after switching-ON by means of the Power-key, the control switches back from the ON-condition into the stand-by-mode. (also see paragraph 1.2)

• When the control is switched- ON the ON/OFF-key has priority over all other keys, so that the control can be switched-OFF anytime, even in case of multiple or continuous operation of keys.

• In the stand-by mode a continuous operation will not be signalized.

However, before the electronic control can be switched-ON again, it has to recognize that all keys are not operated.

Key lock (child safety feature)

◇ Child safety feature:

Key lock:

After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be activated. To achieve this it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front right cookingzone-select-key and the MINUS-key and then press the front right cooking-zone-selectkey again. There will be an "L", meaning LOCKED (child safety feature against unintended switching-ON). If a cooking zone is in the "hot" condition, "L" and "H" will be displayed in alternation.

This course of operation has to take place within a period of 10 seconds, no other key than described above may be operated. Otherwise the input will be interrupted because of incompleteness, the cooktop will not be locked then.

The electronic control remains in a locked condition until it gets unlocked, even if the control has been switched-OFF and -ON in the meantime. Also a reset of the control (after a voltage drop) does not cancel the key lock.

Unlocking for cooking purposes:

To unlock and operate the control it is required to operate the front right cooking-zoneselect-key and the MINUS-key simultaneously. "L" (LOCKED) in the display extinguishes and all cooking zones show "0" with a blinking dot. Should a cooking zone be "hot", "H" is displayed instead of the static "0". After switching-OFF the control, the child safety feature is active again.

Cancelling the key lock:

After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be deactivated. Here it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front right cooking-zone-selectkey and the MINUS-key and then operate the MINUS-key alone. If all steps have been carried out in the right order within 10 seconds the key lock gets cancelled and the control is OFF. Otherwise the input will be considered incomplete, the control remains locked and switches-OFF after 20 seconds.

After a renewed switching-ON by means of the ON/OFF key all displays show "0", the display dots are blinking and the control is ready for cooking. If a cooking zone is "hot", "H" will be displayed instead of the static "0".

Multi-circuit cut-off

Depending on the design it is possible to operate dual- or triple-circuit radiant heating elements with the LITE-Touch Control.

When a multi-circuit heating element is put into operation, all heating circuits

are switched-ON at the same time. If only the inner heating circuits should be used, the outer heating circuit can be switched-OFF by means of the multi-circuit key or in individual steps.

By operating the multi-circuit key the respective outer circuit of the assigned active cooking zone (setting "0") can be cutoff anytime. An activated outer circuit will be indicated by an additional LED. A renewed operation of the multi-circuit key will add the outer circuit(s) at any time, the assigned LED's glow again (toggle-function).

If a cooking zone other than the one with multi-circuit function will be selected, the multicircuit status will be changed and all cooking zones will be deselected (the decimal point extinguishes).

Behaviour of dual-circuit cut-OFF:

If the heating element to be controlled is a triple-circuit heating element, the course of action is as follows:

• The first activation of the multi-circuit key cuts-off the outer heating circuit and the top LED extinguishes.
• A second activation of the multi-circuit-key cuts-off the middle heating circuit. (also the bottom LED extinguishes.)
• A third activation adds the middle heating circuit again. A further activation adds the third heating circuit as well and the assigned LEDs glow again.

Audible signal (buzzer)

While the control is in operation the following activities will be signaled by means of a buzzer:

• normal key activation with a short sound signal.
• continuous operation of keys over a longer period of time (_10 seconds) with a longer, intermittend sound signal.

Timer function (optional)

The timer function is realized in two versions:

• Stand-alone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time is over (= minute minder). This function is only available when the cooktop is not in operation, i.e. when there is no cooking.
• Cooking zone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time is over, four cooking zones can be programmed independently.

Timer as minute minder (stand-alone):

- If the control is OFF the standalone-timer can be operated by activating the timer key. Thetimer display shows "00". Operation of the Power-key putsthe control back into the stand-by mode and the standalone-timer will be cut-off.

• Time changes can be made with 1-minute increases using the clock key from 0 to 99 and the MINUS key from 99 to 0.
• Continuous operation of the clock key or MINUS produces a dynamic

increase of the variation speed up to a max value, without acoustic signals

• If the clock key (or MINUS) is released, the increase (decrease) speed starts again from the initial value.
• The timer can be set both with continuous operation of the clock key or MINUS or with successive-touch operation (with acoustic signal).

After the timer is set the time runs down according to the adjustment.

When the time is over there is a sound signal and the timer display blinks.

The sound signal will be stopped

• automatically after 2 minutes and/or
- by operating any key.

Then the blinking of the timer display stops and the display extinguishes.

Switching-OFF/changing the timer

• The timer can be changed or switched off at any time by operating the clock key or MINUS (with acoustic signal). The timer switches off, bringing the time to "0" with the MINUS key or operating the clock key and MINUS at the same time, which takes the timer directly to "0". For 6 seconds, the timer remains on "0" before switching off.
• If the control will be switched-ON by means of the Power-key, the stand-alone timer will be switched-off also.

Timer programming on cooking zones

When the control is switched-ON an independent timer can be programmed for every cooking zone.

- By selecting a cooking zone with the cooking-zone-selectkey, then selecting the setting and finally activating the timerselect-key, the timer can be programmed as a switch-off function for a cooking zone.

Around the timer four LEDs are arranged. These indicate for which cooking zone the timer has been activated.

• As soon as the timer has been selected, the assigned timer-LED blinks and the dot in the timer display glows. If a cooking-zone-select-key will be operated, the dot in the timer displays extinguishes and the LED does not blink any longer.
• When switching-over from one cooking zone to another, the timer display always shows the present timer value of the respective cooking zone.

However, the programmed timers of other cooking zones remain active.

• The further setting behaviour corresponds to the STANDALONE-TIMER. For increasing the adjusted time, the PLUS-key of the respective cooking zone has to be used. (setting "0")
• When the timer has run down, there is a sound signal and the timer display shows "00" statically, the assigned cooking zone timer LED blinks. The programmed cooking zone will be

cut off and "H" will be displayed if the coking zone is hot, otherwise a stroke will show in the cooking zone display. The sound signal and the blinking of the timer LED will be stopped

• automatically after 2 minutes • b y operating any key.

The timer display extinguishes.

- The basic behaviour follows the description of the "minute minder" (stand-alone-timer).

Automatic heating (or "heatup" function)

This function facilitates cooking. You don't have to be there permanently during cooking.

The hob heats up automatically to full power and then returns to the selected level after a certain time (see table 1).

Activating automatic heating

1. Press the selection button (2) for the desired cooking area.
2. Select power level 9 with the Minus button, then use the Plus button to select level "A" "9". Afterwards set the desired level for continuation of cooking with the Minus button, e.g. level 6. The display will show alternatively "A" and "6" during the "automatic heating" function.

Example: Select power level 9 and activate the automatic heating function with the Plus button (display 9). Then set level 6 for continuation of cooking with the Minus button.

With these settings the hob will be heated for 2.5 min. at level 9, the display will alternate "A" and "6" and will then

return to continuation cooking level 6.

Electric Cooktop Operation

Before using the cooktop for the first time

• All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process.
• If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
• Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.
• There may be a slight odour during the first several uses: this is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware being selected and used.
• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.
• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
• Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass surface.
• Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and /or cooktop.

• Never cook food directly on the glass.

• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch the glass.

• Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.

Cookware

General

The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity) for best result select pans with the following features.

Flat base

When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking).

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight side, a well fitting lid and the material should be of medium to heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.

Match Pan Diameter to radiant element

The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.

WARNING BALANCED PAN UNBALANCED PAN U&C014-2

Cookware characteristics Cooking Utensil Guidelines

- Aluminium: heats and cools quickly frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal markings on glass.

- Cast Iron: heats and cools quickly Not recommended. Retains excessive heat and may damage cooktop.

• Copper: tin heats and cools quickly gourmet, cooking, lined wine sauces, egg dishes.

- Enamel ware: response depends on base Not recommended, metal Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.

• Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly not recommended. Heats too slowly. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.

- Stainless Steel: heats and cools at moderate soups, sauces, rate vegetables, general cooking.

Observe the following points in canning

Pots that extend beyond 1 of the surface unit's circle are not recommended for most surface cooking.

However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used.

This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

However, do not use large diameter canners or other large-diameter pots for frying or boiling foods other than water.

Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all types of frying, cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water.

Such temperatures could eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.

Be sure the canner fits over:

- the center of the surface unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.

- Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don't make enough contact with the surface units and take a long time to boil water.

• When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr brand; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
• Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

CAUTION

Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.

After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

Since you must make sure to process the canning jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface unit if your canner is not flat.

Special pans

Special pans, such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water (Use only a flat-bottom wok).

CAUTION

Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the glass ceramic surface for cooking; aluminum foil can melt and cause permanent damage.

CAUTION

Plastic, paper, and cloth can melt or burn when in contact with a hot surface. Do not let these items come in contact with the hot glass.

Cleaning and care

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GLASS- CERAMIC HOB AND KEEP IT CLEAN

Your glass-ceramic hob is probably the easiest type of cooktop to clean. However, because it looks so good, you will expect more of it than any other type. The following comments are intended to help you to ensure that it does not fall below your expectations. Clean the hob top regularly either while it is still warm – but not hot - or as soon as it has cooled down. If any food or liquid, has spilled onto the surface, remove it before using the hob again. Do not let it get burnt on the hob. The longer it is left, the harder it will be to remove later. Generally the glass-ceramic surface of the hob can be cleaned with paper kitchen towels of any good quality, non-scratch kitchen cleaner. If food has boiled over or spilled on the surface and then burnt, it is best to remove it first with a razor blade scraper of the type used for removing paint from a window panel. If the handle or blade holder is plastic, make sure that only the blade comes into contact with the hot surface. The plastic could melt and even stick to it. For the best results the hob should be cleaned regularly with a special hob cleaner-conditioner containing silicone. This provides extra protection against soiling and makes it easier to clean next time. In the event of persistent stains caused by hard water, grease or marks with a metallic sheen, which cannot be removed by any of the methods suggested above, we recommend the use of Solvol. Autosol,

which can be obtained from motoring accessory shops or the motoring section of supermarkets and do-it-yourself centres. Whatever method you choose to clean your glass-ceramic hob, always wipe it over thoroughly afterwards with a wet cloth to remove all traces of food or cleaner and then wipe it dry. The instruction with the cleaner may suggest that this is not necessary, but with some types residue left on the surface, it is better not to run the risk of this happening.

A Few Suggestions To Help You Keep Your Hob Looking Like New

1. Do not clean your hob with abrasive or corrosive cleaners such as scouring powder, wire wool, oven cleaner or rust remover.
2. Do not leave small particles of grit on the surface, for example sand or soil left on vegetables. If grit gets trapped under the bottom of a pan, it will scratch the surface.
3. Pans or dishes may have rough edges or pitted bottoms which can cause scratching if they are slid across the surface, so it is best to avoid doing so. This is particularly true of cast-iron utensils.
4. Do not let anything that may melt (plastic, kitchen foil, sugar or food with a high sugar content) come into contact with the surface of the hob while it is hot. Should anything accidentally melt on the top, remove it immediately (while still hot) with a razor blade scraper.
