Never cook directly on the surface.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food 
affects the setting required. Higher settings are 
required for larger quantities of food. 
Naturally, the surface must be washed after use in 
order to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty.
When cooking on the hob you may see the hob area 
you are using switch off and on. This is caused by a 
safety device that limits the temperature of the hob. 
It is quite normal, especially when cooking at high 
temperatures. If it happens a lot with a particular 
pan however it may mean the pan is not suitable 
– perhaps too small or too uneven - for a ceramic hob.
Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob and 
therefore must be cleaned off with care immediately. 
Never let sugar spillage cool before trying to remove 
it.
If sugar or foods with high sugar content, aluminium 
foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt 
on the hob surface remove them immediately from 
the hot cooking area using a scraper to avoid any 
possible damage to the surface. See ‘Cleaning your 
cooker’.
Never cut directly on the cooking surface.
Don’t cook directly on the hob surface i.e. without a 
pan or utensil
Don’t use the hob as a work surface
Don’t drag or slide utensils across the hob surface
Don’t place anything between the base of the pan 
and the hob surface (i.e. asbestos mats, aluminium 
foil, Wok stand)
Don’t leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible items 
on the hob when it is not in use. (e.g. tea towels, 
frying pans containing oil)
Don’t place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic 
containers on the hob
Don’t leave the hob zones switched on unless being 
used for cooking
Don’t place large preserving pans or fish kettles 
across two heating zones
Don’t place utensils partly covering a heating zone. 
Always place utensils centrally.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
