Frequently Asked Questions - JR36DK53 Junker

How to clean the ceramic hob?

Clean the hob after each use once it has cooled down. Use a specific ceramic cleaner and a soft cloth. For encrusted dirt, use a glass scraper following the manufacturer's recommendations. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads, or steam cleaners.

What to do in case of food spillage on the hob?

Immediately remove spilled food using a glass scraper to avoid stains. Then clean the area with a suitable product. Do not let sugar or sugary foods heat up, as they can crack the ceramic.

How to save energy with this hob?

Use pans with a flat bottom and a suitable lid. Choose a cooking zone of appropriate size. Reduce the power in time and take advantage of the residual heat by turning off the zone 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking.

What types of pans are recommended?

Use pans and frying pans with a flat bottom whose diameter matches the cooking zone. Avoid rough-bottomed containers that scratch the ceramic. Manufacturers often indicate the top diameter, which is larger than the bottom.

How to use the residual heat?

After cooking, the residual heat display (light on) indicates that the cooking zone is still hot. You can use it to keep a dish warm or melt chocolate, which saves energy.

What to do if the ceramic is scratched?

Scratches are often due to rough pan bottoms or salt and sand. To avoid them, do not slide pans. If scratches appear, they are usually cosmetic and do not affect operation. Use a suitable cleaning product to reduce their appearance.

How to adjust the power of the cooking zones?

Use the zone switches to adjust the power from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum). The heating cycles on and off automatically to maintain the selected power. For rapid heating, use setting 9.

What are the safety risks to know?

The zones become very hot: risk of burns. Do not touch hot surfaces and keep children away. Hot oil can ignite: do not leave it unattended. In case of fire, do not use water but smother the flames with a lid. For repairs, call a certified technician to avoid electrical risks.

How to contact Junker after-sales service?

For a repair, prepare the numbers E and FD found on the rating plate (in the appliance passport). Then contact Junker after-sales service. Note that a technician visit may be chargeable even under warranty in case of mishandling.

Can I use a steam cleaner to clean the hob?

No, the use of a high-pressure or steam cleaner is prohibited because moisture entering the appliance can cause an electric shock. Use exclusively manual cleaning methods with suitable products.

Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
The hotplates become very hot. Never place combustible items on the hob. Never place objects on the hob.
The appliance gets hot. Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.

Warning - Risk of burns!

The hotplates and surrounding area (particularly the hob surround, if fitted) become very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.

Warning - Risk of electric shock!

Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out by one of our trained after-sales engineers. If the appliance is faulty, unplug the mains plug or switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
- Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.
A defective appliance may cause electric shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
- Cracks or fractures in the glass ceramic may cause electric shocks. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

Warning - Risk of injury!

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.

Environmental protection

In this section, you can find information about saving energy and disposing of the appliance.

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.
- 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.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

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.

Getting to know your appliance

The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs. You can find the hob dimensions in the overview of models. Page 2

The control panel

Hotplate controls

The hotplate controls are permanently fixed. They must not be removed. Forcibly removing the hotplate controls leads to them being destroyed.

Hotplate and residual heat indicators

The hotplate and residual heat indicators light up when a hotplate is warm:

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.

Operating the appliance

In this section, you can find out how to set the hotplates. The table shows heat settings and cooking times for various meals.

Switching the hob on and off

You can switch the hob on and off with the hotplate controls.

Setting a hotplate

Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the hotplate controls.

Heat setting 1 = Lowest setting

Heat setting 9 = Highest setting

The symbol in the display panel indicates the hotplate which the display refers to, e.g. + for the right rear hotplate.

Notes

Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are part of the technical design. They do not affect the functionality of the hotplate.
- Switching the hotplate on and off regulates the heat. The heat can switch on and off even at the highest setting.
With multi-circuit hotplates the heating of the inner filament circuits and the heater element of the activations may switch on and off at different times.

Table of cooking times

You can find a few examples in the following table.

Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.

For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.

Stir thick liquids occasionally.

Food that needs to be seared quickly or food which loses a lot of liquid during initial frying is best seared in several small portions.

Tips for energy-saving cooking can be found in the "Environmental protection" section. Page 15
