The following table provides an overview of the most frequent

kinds of damage:

Damage

Cause

Stains

Food spills

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Scratches

Salt, sugar and sand

Rough pot and pan bases scratch the

ceramic.

Discolouration

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium)

Blisters

Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.

Environmental protection

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an

environmentally-responsible manner.

Environmental protection

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the

European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used

electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE – waste

electrical and electronic equipment). The guideline

determines the framework for the return and

recycling of used appliances as applicable.

Tips for saving energy

Always use the right lid for the pan in question. Cooking

■

without the lid requires four times as much energy.

Getting to know your appliance

An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on

page 2.

Hotplate and residual heat indicators

The hotplate and residual heat indicators e light up when a

hotplate is warm:

Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the

■

display area or the surround. This may cause damage.

Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.

■

Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.

■

Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.

Action

Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.

Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic

Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.

Check your cookware.

Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic

Lift the pots and pans when moving them.

Use pots and pans with even bases. Using cookware with

■

uneven bases increases energy consumption.

The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the

■

size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are

placed on the hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:

Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the

top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the

base of the pan.

Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A larger, less full

■

saucepan requires more energy.

Use only a little water when cooking. This saves energy. It

■

also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.

Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.

■

Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,

■

you can switch the hotplate off 5 - 10 minutes before the end

of the cooking time.

Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have

■

switched on a hotplate.

Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is

■

still warm.

You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a

small dish warm or to melt chocolate.
