Frequently Asked Questions - JE36DH54 Junker

How to turn on the hob?

Turn the knob of the desired cooking zone to the right to the desired heat setting (1 to 9). To turn off, turn the knob back to 0.

How to adjust the power of the zones?

Use the rotary knobs: position 1 = minimum power, position 9 = maximum power. For dual-circuit zones, first turn to the corresponding symbol then adjust the heat setting.

What does the residual heat indicator mean?

A light turns on after cooking if the zone is still hot. It allows keeping warm or melting chocolate, but be careful of burns.

How to clean the ceramic glass?

Let the hob cool down. Remove stubborn dirt with a glass scraper, then clean with a special ceramic glass cleaner and a suitable sponge. Never use a steam cleaner.

Which cleaning products to avoid?

Avoid undiluted dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergents, abrasive products, oven sprays, scouring sponges, and high-pressure cleaners.

How to save energy when cooking?

Use flat-bottomed pans that fit the zone size, cover pots, lift the lid as little as possible, use residual heat by turning off 5-10 minutes before the end.

What to do in case of a cracked surface?

Immediately turn off the appliance, switch off the fuse in the panel, set knobs to zero, and contact after-sales service. Do not use the damaged appliance.

How to install the hob?

Installation must be done by a qualified professional. Follow the assembly instructions: flat and heat-resistant worktop, compliant electrical connection, PE protective conductor screwed to the earth point.

What cookware to use?

Use pots and pans with flat bottoms that fit the zone size. Avoid rough bottoms that scratch the ceramic glass and check that the base diameter matches the zone.

How to contact after-sales service?

Have the product number (E-Nr.) and production number (FD) from the rating plate ready. Contact details are in the manual or on Junker's website.

2.1 Overview of the most common damage

Here you can find the most common types of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

Damage Cause Measure
Stains	Food boiling over	Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass scraper.
Stains	Unsuitable cleaning products	Only use cleaning products that are suitable for glass ceramic.
Scratches	Salt, sugar or sand	Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Scratches	Rough pot or pan bases	Check your cookware.
Discolouration	Unsuitable cleaning products	Only use cleaning products that are suitable for glass ceramic.
Discolouration	Pan abrasion, e.g. aluminium	Lift pots and pans to move on the hob.
Blisters	Sugar or food with a high sugar content	Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass scraper.

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.

Take advantage of the hob's residual heat. With longer cooking times switch off the hotplate 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking.
- Unused residual heat increases energy consumption.

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

4 Familiarising yourself with 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

4.1 Hotplates

You can find an overview of the different connections for the hotplates here.

	Hotplate Activating and deactivating
○	Single-circuit hotplate
◎	Dual-circuit hotplate	Activating: Turn the hotplate switch to the right until ⑥ Select the heat setting. Switching off: Turn the hot-plate switch to 0 and reset. Never turn the hotplate switch past the ⑧ symbol to 0.
○ Roasting zone Activating: Turn the hotplate switch to the right until ⑦ Select the heat setting. Deactivating: Turn the hot-plate switch to 0 and reset. Never turn the hotplate switch past the ⑧ symbol to 0.

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.
• The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching the heat on and off. The heat may also switch on and off when at the highest setting.
• This protects easily damaged components from overheating.
• The appliance is protected against electrical overload.

4.2 Hotplate display - and residual heat indicator

The hob has a hotplate display and residual heat indicator. The display lights up when a hotplate is warm.
