Recommendation for the good use of vitroceramic hobs

Use pots or pans with thick, completely flat bottoms.
Pans with a smaller diameter than the shown heating area are not ecommended.
Do not slide pots and pans over the glass as they may scratch it.
Although the glass can withstand knocks from large pots and pans without sharp edges, try not to knock it.
To prevent damage to the ceramic glass induction surface, try not to slide the pots and pans over the glass, and keep the bottoms of the vessels clean and in good condition.

Try not to spill sugar or products containing sugar on the glass while the surface is hot as these could damage it.

Cleaning and maintenance

To keep the appliance in good condition, clean it using suitable products and implements once it has cooled down. This will make the job easier and avoid the build-up of dirt Never use harsh cleaning products or tools that could scratch the surface, or steam-operated equipment.

A pot or pan may become stuck to the glass due to a product having melted between them. Do not try to lift the pot while the hot plate is cold! This could cause the glass break.

Do not step on the glass or lean on it as it could break and cause injury. Do not use the glass as a surface for putting objects.
