Cause

Unsupervised cooking process.

Spilled food, especially food with a high

Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-

cessories or other hard or pointed objects.

Cooking with frozen cookware.

Cooking without contents.

Melted material on the hot cooking zone or

hot pot lid on the glass.

Hot cookware on the control panel or on the

frame.

An appliance with a cracked or broken sur-

face can cause cuts.

▶ Do not use the appliance if it has a cracked

or broken surface.

Measure

Monitor the cooking process.

Remove immediately with a glass scraper.

Use suitable cookware that is in a good con-

dition.

Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for

glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when

it is cold.

When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-

jects fall onto the hob.

Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when

moving it.

Do not use the hob as a work surface or

storage space.

Never use frozen cookware.

Never place or heat empty cookware on a

hot cooking zone.

Do not place greaseproof paper or alu-

minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids

on the hob.

Never place hot cookware on these areas.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use

less energy.

Select the cooking zone to match the size of your

pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.

Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-

meter as the hotplate.

Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper

diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the

base diameter.

¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-

ing zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

¡ Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more

energy.
