Glass ceramic is a silicium-based material that does not expand
like glass. Its dimensions do not practically vary up to 750°C, as a
part of the molecules composing it expands under heat, while an
equal number retracts. A feature of this material is that it is a poor
heat conductor and therefore limits heat loss.
The plane surface of the glass ceramic and the sensitive controls
make cleaning easy. The own cleaning difficulties of radiant and halogen sources are usually
groundless on induction hob, owing to the low temperatures attained by the table. However, a
saucepan with humid bottom put on the source leaves limestone traces. Sugar discharges should be
cleaned immediately, as in contact with hot glass ceramic the sugar caramelizes. When cooling down,
it retracts and attacks the coating. Lastly, the glass-ceramic hob is not a working plane and thus is
easily scratched.
• Always use a clean surface for cooking
• Immediately eliminate sugar-based stains and discharges, as they can attack the glass ceramic
• Avoid rubbing with abrasive materials
• Never use the hob as a working plane
• Never put paper or an aluminium container on the source.
