Initial cleaning
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and ceramic cooktop glass
cleaner.
WARNING
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners. The surface could be damaged.
Using suitable cookware
Better pans produce better results.
•
You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and
flat as possible.
•
When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base.
Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
•
Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouration on
the ceramic glass surface. The discolouration is very difficult or impossible to
remove.
•
Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs.
Permanent scratching can occur if these pan are slid across the surface.
•
When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They
should never be bowed outwards (convex).
•
If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a
simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
•
All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils over
and lands on the control panel.
•
The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on
the control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be
switched on again using the
On/Off
button after the liquid or the cloth has
been removed.
Residual heat indicator
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual
heat is shown with an (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate
cooking zones. Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual
heat indicator goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
WARNING
•
As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
•
If the power supply is interrupted, the symbol will go out and information
about residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be
possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when
near the hob.
