Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the pan base and the hotplate. Always keep the hotplate and saucepan bases dry. Causes of damage Caution! ■ Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic. ■ Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage. ■ 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. Overview The following table provides an overview of the most frequent kinds of damage: Environmental protection Environmentally-friendly disposal Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner. Energy-saving tips ■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid. ■ Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption. ■ The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan. ■ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy. ■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved. ■ Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible with your saucepan. ■ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. Damage Cause Action Stains Food spills Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper. Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space. Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic. Check your cookware. Discolouration Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium) Lift the pots and pans when moving them. Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper. This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.28 ■ Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high. ■ 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. Getting to know your appliance The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs. An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on page 2. The control panel Notes ■ When you touch a symbol, the respective function is activated. ■ Always keep the controls dry. Moisture reduces their effectiveness. ■ Do not pull pans close to the displays and sensors. The electronics could overheat. The hotplates Residual heat indicator The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for each hotplate. If • appears in the display the hob is still hot. It may be used, for example, to keep a small meal warm or to melt cooking chocolate. As the hotplate cools down further, the display changes to œ. The display remains lit until the hotplate has cooled sufficiently. Displays ‚-Š Heat settings
