Frequently Asked Questions - HZ9FF040 SIEMENS

Can I use this saucepan in the microwave?

No, the cooking utensil is not suitable for microwave use. The manual clearly states this as a safety instruction.

Can I put the saucepan in the oven?

Yes, you can use the saucepan without lid in the oven up to a maximum temperature of 220 °C. Never use the grill or self-cleaning function.

How to clean this Siemens saucepan?

Clean the saucepan by hand with a soft sponge, warm water, and suitable dish soap. Do not put in the dishwasher and avoid abrasive products or steel wool.

Why does my induction hob not detect the saucepan?

Make sure the saucepan is well centered on the flexible zone. Incorrect placement prevents proper activation of the cooking zones. The saucepan should be placed as shown in the manual illustrations.

What to do if the non-stick coating deteriorates?

The non-stick coating wears naturally. Avoid overheating, impacts, and metal utensils. To improve its lifespan, regularly oil the surface with vegetable oil. If the coating is damaged, replace the utensil.

Can I use the booster function on my induction hob with this saucepan?

No. The manual states not to use the booster function because the utensil heats up very quickly. Use a preheat at level 8 or 8.5, then reduce the power.

How to avoid burns during use?

The handles and lid become very hot. Always use oven mitts. Turn the saucepan handle inward to avoid hitting it. Never leave children unattended.

How to maintain the glass lid?

Never place the hot glass lid on a cold or wet surface. Let it cool on a dry cloth. Do not immerse it in cold water and do not knock it. Regularly check that it is not chipped or cracked.

Can I stack multiple Flex saucepans?

Yes, but to avoid scratches, insert the felt protector provided between each saucepan when stacking.

What to do if hot oil catches fire in the saucepan?

Never extinguish with water. Smother the fire by placing a lid or fire blanket on top. Never leave hot oil or fat unattended.
