ENGLISH
Empty or thin-based pots / pans
Do not use empty pots / pans or cookware
with thin bases on the hob as it will not be
able to monitor the temperature, or will turn
off automatically if the temperature is too
high. This may result in the damage of the
cookware or the hob surface. If such a
situation occurs, do not touch anything and
wait for all components to cool down.
If an error message appears, refer to
"Troubleshooting".
Care and cleaning
General information
Warning! Switch off the appliance
and let it cool down before you
clean it.
Warning! For safety reasons, do
not clean the appliance with
steam blasters or high-pressure
cleaners.
Warning! Sharp objects and
abrasive cleaning agents will
damage the appliance. Clean the
appliance and remove the
residues with water and dish soap
after each use. Remove also the
remnants of the cleaning agents.
Scratches or dark stains on the
glass ceramic that cannot be
removed do not affect the

chapters.
Hints / tips
Noises during cooking
When a cooking zone is active, it may hum
briefly. This is characteristic of all ceramic
glass cooking zones and does not impair
either the function or the life of the
appliance. The noise depends on the
cookware used. If it causes considerable
disturbance, it might help to change the
cookware.
Removing the residues and stubborn
residues
Food containing sugar, plastics, or tin foil
residues should be removed at once. A
scraper is the best tool for cleaning the glass
surface. It is not supplied with the appliance.
Place a scraper on the hob surface at an
angle and remove residues by sliding the
blade over the surface. Clean the appliance
using a damp cloth and some dish soap.
Finally, wipe the glass surface dry with a
clean cloth.
Limescale rings, water rings, fat splashes, or
shiny metallic discolourations should be
removed after the appliance has cooled
down. Use only a specialised cleaner for
glass ceramic or stainless steel.
