2 Avoiding material damage

This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

Damage	Cause	Measure
Stains	Unsupervised cooking process.	Monitor the cooking process.
Stains, blisters	Spilled food, especially food with a high sugar content.	Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Stains, blisters or fractures in the glass	Defective cookware, cookware with melted enamel or cookware with copper or alu-minium base.	Use suitable cookware that is in a good condition.
Stains, discolouration	Unsuitable cleaning methods.	Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when it is cold.
Blisters or fractures in the glass	Knocks or falling cookware, cooking accessories or other hard or pointed objects.	When cooking, do not hit the glass or let objects fall onto the hob.
Scratches, discolouration	Rough cookware bases or moving the cookware on the hob.	Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when moving it.
Scratches	Salt, sugar or sand.	Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Damage to the appliance	Cooking with frozen cookware.	Never use frozen cookware.
Damage to the cookware or the appliance	Cooking without contents.	Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone.
Glass damage	Melted material on the hot cooking zone or hot pot lid on the glass.	Do not place greaseproof paper or alu-minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the hob.

ATTENTION!

A fan is located on the underside of this hob.

• If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob, do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling.
• There must be a clearance of at least 2cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

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 diameter 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 cooking zones consume a lot of energy.
  Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
• Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.

Lift lids as infrequently as possible.

• When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
  Use a glass lid.
• You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.
  Use pots and pans with flat bases.
  Uneven bases increase energy consumption.

Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.

Cook with only a little water.
- The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.

Turn down to a lower power level early on.
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.

Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

4 Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the

cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.

4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware

To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.

You can use Cookware test to check whether your cookware is suitable. You can find more information about this under

"Cookware test", Page 22.

Cookware	Materials	Properties
Recommended cookware	Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well.	This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily.
	Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel.	This cookware heats up quickly and ensures that it can be detected easily.
Suitable	The base is not fully ferromagnetic.	If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly.
	Cookware bases with aluminium content.	These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
Not suitable	Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

Notes

• Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the cookware.
• Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

5 Familiarising yourself with your appliance
