4. Environmental protection

SAVING OF ENERGY:

◆ Use proper cookware for cooking.
✿ Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3 of electric energy. Remember to cover your cookware if possible; otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
❖ Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate. A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate.
◆ Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed by products, which will damage the environment, only.
Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!).

◆ Decrease the power level as soon as the desired cooking temperature is reached.
◆ Use pot-lids to shorten cooking times and save energy.
- Minimize the amount of cooking liquids or fat/oil to shorten cooking times.
Select a high power level, when you start cooking. Reduce the power level, when your food has been heated up.
For long cooking times: Switch off the cooking zones 5 to 10 minutes before you will finish cooking. This saves up to 20 % of energy.
You can use the residual heat of the cooking zones for saving energy when starting a new cooking procedure on a cooking zone which is still warm / hot.
Do not install the appliance near of refrigerators / freezers. Otherwise the energy consumption increases unnecessarily.

5. Cooking guidelines

⚠ WARNING! Be very careful when frying, because oil and fat heat up very fast especially when operating a high power level. Extremely hot oil and fat inflame spontaneously and represent a serious fire risk.
⚠ WARNING! NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
Caution! Cooking utensils may become hot because of the heat transferred by the heated food. Potholders or oven gloves may be needed to handle such utensils.

NOTICE! Only use cookware which is suitable to be used on glass ceramic; otherwise you will damage the appliance.

5.1 Tips for cooking and frying

SIMMERING / COOKING OF RICE:

Simmering is cooking with a temperature of approx. 85 °C. At this temperature small bubbles ascend to the surface of the cooking liquid. Simmering is a perfect way to cook delicious soups and stews as the flavours of the food unfold completely without being over-heated. You should also cook egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour in this way.

- Some cooking procedures, including the cooking of rice with the absorption-method (= the water is consumed completely), require a setting above the lowest power level, so the food is cooked within the recommended cooking time.

STEAKS:

1. Take the meat out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for approx. 20 minutes.
2. Heat up a pan with a heavy base.
3. Rub both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and place the steak into the pan.
4. Turn the meat just once while cooking. The exact cooking time depends from the size of your steak and your individual preferences (medium, medium rare etc.). So, the cooking time of each side may vary from 2 to 8 minutes. Press the steak to check the cooking result - a firm steak is well done.
5. Leave the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes; so it will become tender.

ASIAN-STYLE COOKING:

1. Choose a wok with a flat base or a big pan.
2. Prepare all ingredients and the cooking utensils you need. Asian-style cooking should work fast. If you want to cook a big amount of food, you should divide the food into several portions.
3. Preheat the wok / pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook the meat first. Put it aside and keep it warm.
5. Now cook the vegetable. When the vegetable is hot but still crisp, reduce the power level. Add the meat and, if desired, a sauce.
6. Sauté the complete food carefully so all components are hot.
7. Serve immediately.

5.2 Power levels and temperatures

The values (temperature / power level / etc.) given in the following table are guidelines only. They depend on the cookware used as well as on the quality, temperature and consistency of the foods and may vary accordingly.
i The following table does not claim to be complete.

Power levels3 - 4	approx.110 - 200°C	➢ Reheating.➢ Fast simmering.➢ Rice.
Power level5	approx.210 - 300°C	➢ Pancakes.
Power levels6 - 9	approx.310 - 600°C	➢ Sautéing.➢ Pasta.➢ Asian-style.➢ Frying.➢ Reaching of the boiling point of soup / water.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

⚠ WARNING! Switch off the appliance and let it cool down completely before cleaning. Disconnect the appliance from the mains before maintenance (fuse box of your household power supply)!

⚠ WARNING! Never use a steam cleaner. The steam can damage the electric components of the appliance. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Do not use any organic detergents! ^24

Do not use essential oils!
▶ Never use solvents.

NOTICE! Any damage that is caused to the appliance by a cleaning product will not be fixed free of charge, even if the guarantee period of the appliance is still valid.

HOW TO CLEAN THE HOB:

➢ Clean the hob after each use.
Remove residuals on the glass-ceramic with a soft cloth.
Do not scrub the glass-ceramic.
Clean the glass-ceramic with a commercially available detergent for glass-ceramic. Use a special sponge and warm water.
➢ Remove residuals with a silicon-made scraper, which is suitable for glass-ceramic. Such scrapers are commercially available.

KIND OF CONTAMINATION

STRATEGY	SAFETY GUIDELINES
DAILY CONTAMINATION OF THE GLASS CERAMIC (FINGERPRINTS, STAINS CAUSED BY FOOD, NON-SUGARY SPILLAGES).
1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains (fuse-box).2. Use a suitable detergent for glass ceramic while the glass ceramic is still warm - but not hot!3. Clean with a soft cloth / kitchen paper and water, then dry carefully.4. Connect the appliance to the mains again.	While the appliance is disconnected from the mains the residual heat indicator does not work, so the cooking zones may be still hot. Be very careful.Scourers, nylon-scourers and abrasive detergents can scratch the glass ceramic. Read the product information of these detergents, so you know if they are suitable to clean glass ceramic.Do not leave any residuals of a detergent on the glass ceramic as it can turn stained permanently.

OVERCOOKED OR MELTED FOOD AND STAINS CAUSED BY HEATED SUGAR-CONTAINING FOOD ON THE GLASS CERAMIC.

- Remove such a contamination immediately with a suitable glass ceramic scraper. Beware of cooking zones which are still hot!

1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains (fuse-box).
2. Hold the scraper in a 30^0 -angle and scrape off the contamination to a cold area.
3. Clean the contaminated area with a dish towel / kitchen paper.
4. Proceed as described in steps 2 - 4 in the previous section.

Remove such contaminations as soon as possible. When they cool down on the glass ceramic, they are difficult to remove and may damage the glass ceramic permanently.
➢ Be very careful when using the scraper so that you do not cut yourself (especially, when you have removed the safety cover).

CONTAMINATION OF THE OPERATING PANEL / SENSOR BUTTONS.

1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains (fuse-box).
