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 Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally-responsible manner. Environmental protection Tips for saving energy ■ Always use a correctly fitting lid for the pan.Cooking without the lid requires four times as much energy. A glass lid allows you to observe the cooking without having to lift the lid off. ■ Use pots and pans with level bases. Using cookware with unlevel bases increases energy consumption. ■ The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are placed on a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan. ■ Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A large saucepan containing little food requires more energy. 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 the European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE – waste electrical and electronic equipment). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.22 ■ Use only a little water when cooking. This will save energy. It also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.■ Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.■ Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off as early as 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 ControlsWhen you touch a symbol, the respective function is activated. Notes■ The settings will remain unchanged if you touch several symbols at once. This allows you to wipe up spills on the control panel.■ Always keep the controls dry. Moisture reduces their effectiveness. The hotplates Residual heat indicator The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for each hotplate.

• 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.
