To clean the ceramic surface, first allow it to cool completely. Use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the surface.
If the oven isn't heating properly, check that it is correctly plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Verify that the temperature settings are correct. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for troubleshooting tips or contact a qualified technician.
To enhance energy efficiency, use the right-sized cookware for the burners and keep lids on pots to retain heat. Preheat the oven only when necessary, and make use of residual heat by turning the cooker off a few minutes before completing the cooking process.
To prevent spills, use a baking tray with sides to catch any drips. Avoid overfilling dishes, and use oven-safe covers or foil to contain any splatters. Regularly checking on the dish can also help in preventing spills.
To reset the timer, press the 'Timer' button to enter the timer mode. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the time settings as needed. Press the 'Timer' button again to confirm and start the timer.
Routine maintenance includes regularly cleaning the surfaces, checking for any signs of wear or damage, and ensuring all knobs and controls function smoothly. It's also important to schedule professional inspections annually to maintain optimal performance.
Before moving the cooker, ensure it is completely cool and unplugged. Use appliance sliders to carefully move it, avoiding tilting or lifting by the handles. If moving over long distances, consider professional appliance movers to prevent damage.
If the ceramic hob isn't turning on, check the power connection and ensure the cooker is plugged in securely. Inspect the control settings and make sure they are correctly adjusted. If the issue continues, seek assistance from a qualified service technician.
To replace the oven bulb, switch off the cooker and allow it to cool. Remove the bulb cover by unscrewing it, then replace the bulb with a new one of the same type and wattage. Reattach the cover and ensure it is secure before using the oven again.
If the control knobs are difficult to turn, clean around them to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of appliance-safe lubricant if necessary. If the problem persists, contact a service professional as this may indicate a more serious issue.
