CERAN® SMOOTH TOP
WARNING In the unlikely event of the Ceran sustaining accidental damage or cracks,
switch off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced
before further use.
Plate controls
• Select the heat level by turning the relevant plate control knob to the required setting.
The higher the number selected, the hotter the temperature of the plate will be.
• The plate indicator light will glow when the plate is switched on. Shortly thereafter the
hot surface indicator light on the hob will switch on and will remain on for 20 to 30
minutes after the plate is switched off.. This is a reminder that the hob surface is still too
hot to touch.
• Some models feature a dual zone plate. Turning the control knob to the left,
activates the inner zone and turning it to the right activates both the inner and
outer zones.
Caring for the Ceran hob
• Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and long
lasting cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and
cleaned regularly.
• Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the
hob is still warm.
• Clean the hob with a nylon pad and ‘Smooth top cleaner’. A sample of this cleaner is
supplied with the unit. Replenishment cleaner is available from all Defy Service Centres.
• 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 the Ceran.
• Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains
bright 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 and
waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will
ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the
hot 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 lengthy
cooking period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
• A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the surface of
the hob.
• Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowed to
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 aluminium pots.
These will leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the Ceran.
