To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care andcleaned regularly.• Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably whilethe Ceran is still warm.• Clean the Ceran with a nylon pad and ‘Smooth top cleaner’. A sample of this cleaneris supplied with the unit. Replenishment cleaner is available from all Defy ServiceCentres.• If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.• Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch theCeran.• Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remainsbright and attractive.• Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.Recommendations (see also the enclosed ‘CERAN’ leaflet)• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time andwaste energy.• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This willensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining thehot zone.• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.• Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthycooking period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete thecooking process.• A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the surfaceof the hob.• Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowedto cool on the Ceran it could pit and damage the surface.• Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminiumpots. These will leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the Ceran.
