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.
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.
• Wipe spillage off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the hob is still warm.
• Clean the hob with a nylon pad and a suitable smooth top cleaning solution, which is available from all
Defy Service Centres. Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) by applying a small amount of lime
remover such as vinegar or lemon juice. Other suitable commercially available products can also be used.
• 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.
• DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.
