Operating the hob

You operate the appliance with the combination appliance's ring switches. The operation and the function of the ring switches is described in the Operating Instructions for the combination appliance.

Warning! The hotplates still remain hot for a time even after being switched off. There is a risk of burns. Let the hotplates cool down.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware

You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be as thick and flat as possible.

Energy saving

Always place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place lids on the pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size.

Cleaning and Care

Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. Let the appliance cool down.

Cleaning the appliance after each use

1. Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2. Rub the appliance dry using a clean cloth.

Removing deposits

1. Remove heavy deposits from the hot-plates using fine scouring powder or a scouring pad.
2. Wipe off residues with a damp cloth.
3. Then heat the hotplate to a low temperature and leave to dry.
4. To maintain the hotplates, rub in a little sewing machine oil now and again and then polish off with absorbent paper.

Warning! Do not clean the stainless steel edge of the hob with scouring powder or a scouring pad as this will leave scratches! For stainless steel hobs only use suitable stainless steel cleaning and maintenance products. Please the manufacturer's instructions.

The stainless steel edge of the plate can be slightly discoloured as a result of thermal load. This process is caused by the physical properties.

The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed. Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance. The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant. The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap. When building in, protect the underside of the appliance from steam and moisture, e.g. from a dishwasher or oven. Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.
