Dirt or moisture between the pan and the hob can cause pitting of the surface of the glass.

Cleaning the Ceramic Hob ALWAYS switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control panel. · ALWAYS use a Ceramic Hob CleanerConditioner whenever cleaning is done. The Cleaner- Conditioner forms a protective film on the hob and contains a mild detergent which makes cleaning easier. Hotpoint has a CleanerConditioner which can be obtained either through a local Hotpoint Service Centre or retailer, part No. To clean off stubborn stains the following can be used when the surface has cooled: 1. Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully using a glass scraper. Hard water stains, grease spots and any discolouration having a metallic sheen can be removed with Solvol Autosol Super or any non abrasive stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and finish it off by polishing with a clean, dry paper towel. Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage the surface of the Hob. The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be minimised by the use of CleanerConditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but do not affect the function of the hob in any way. 20 Care of the Ceramic Hob (continued) Safety Requirements for Deep Fat Frying The following recommendations should be followed: a) NEVER leave the pan unattended on the heat, eg.
