Frequently Asked Questions - JE26DH14 Junker

How to turn the hob on and off?

Use the corresponding zone switch. Turn the knob to the desired position to turn on, and return to position 0 to turn off.

How to adjust the power of the zones?

Turn the zone knob between position 1 (minimum power) and 9 (maximum power). The zone regulates the temperature by cycling on and off.

Which utensils to use on the hob?

Use pots and pans with flat bottoms, whose diameter matches that of the zone. Avoid rough bottoms that scratch the ceramic glass.

What to do in case of food overflow?

Immediately remove overflowed food with a glass scraper, especially if it contains sugar, to avoid damaging the surface.

How to clean the ceramic glass?

Let the hob cool down. Use a glass scraper for stubborn dirt, then clean with a special ceramic glass cleaner and a suitable sponge.

Which cleaning products are prohibited?

Never use undiluted dish soap, dishwasher cleaner, abrasive products, oven sprays, scouring sponges, high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

How to save energy while cooking?

Use pots with lids, match the size of the container to the zone, use little water, and turn off the zone 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking to take advantage of residual heat.

What to do if the ceramic glass surface is cracked?

Immediately turn off the appliance by switching off the fuse in the fuse box. Set all knobs to zero. Contact after-sales service. Do not use the damaged appliance.

How to install the hob on a cooker?

Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel. The hob must be of the same brand as the cooker. Connect the PE protective conductor to earth and connect the zones to the oven.

Where to find the serial number of the appliance?

The product number (E-Nr.) and the manufacturing number (FD) are indicated on the rating plate located on the underside of the hob or on the specification sheet.

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.
Scratch es	Salt, sugar or sand	Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Scratch es	Rough pot or pan bases	Check your cookware.

Damage Cause Measure

Discol-ouration	Unsuitable cleaning products	Only use cleaning products that are suitable for glass ceramic.
Discol-ouration	Pan abrasion, e.g. aluminium	Lift pots and pans to move on the hob.

Damage Cause Measure

Blisters Sugar or food with a high sugar content

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

5 Basic operation

5.1 Switching the hob on or off

5.3 Information on the hotplates

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.

Reasons:

■ Easily damaged components are protected against overheating.
■ The appliance is protected against electrical overload.

5.4 Recommended cooking settings

You can find an overview of different foods with appropriate power levels here.

The cooking time varies depending on the type, weight, thickness and quality of the food. The ongoing power level depends on the cookware used.

Cooking tips

■ To bring food to the boil, use heat setting 9.
■ Stir thick liquids occasionally.
- Food that needs to be seared quickly or that initially loses a lot of liquid during frying should be fried in small portions.
■ Tips for saving energy when cooking. → Page 20
