Frequently Asked Questions - EQ700220 SIEMENS

How do I switch on the hob and set a hotplate?

Turn the hotplate control clockwise to the desired heat setting (1-9). For dual-circuit or extended zones, first turn to the special symbol (◎ or ∞) then set the heat. To switch off, turn back to 0.

What do the residual heat indicators mean?

The residual heat indicator lights up when the hotplate is still warm after cooking. You can use this heat to keep food warm or melt butter. Never touch the hotplate while it is lit.

How should I clean the ceramic hob?

Clean after each use once cooled. Use a ceramic cleaner and a soft cloth or glass scraper for burnt-on residues. Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh cleaners, or undiluted dish soap.

What types of cookware are recommended?

Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bases and a diameter that matches the hotplate. Avoid rough or uneven bases as they can scratch the ceramic.

What should I do if the ceramic glass cracks?

Immediately switch off the hob at the circuit breaker and do not use it. Contact Siemens after-sales service with your E-number and FD-number for repair.

How can I save energy while cooking?

Use lids to reduce energy loss, match pan size to hotplate, and switch off the hotplate 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking to use residual heat.

Can I use aluminium foil or plastic containers on the hotplate?

No. Aluminium foil and plastic containers can melt or damage the ceramic. Do not place them on hot hotplates.

What is the difference between single-circuit, dual-circuit and extended cooking zones?

Single-circuit: one heating area. Dual-circuit: offers two sizes (use ◎ symbol). Extended zone: larger oval area (use ∞ symbol) suitable for oblong cookware.

How do I install the hob?

Installation must be done by a licensed professional. Ensure the cut-out dimensions match, seal cut surfaces, connect the hob to the cooker or control unit as per the wiring diagram, and do not trap cables.

Where can I find the E-number and FD-number for after-sales service?

These numbers are on the rating plate, which is attached to the appliance certificate. Quote them when contacting Siemens service for faster assistance.

Risk of injury!

Steam pressure may build up if there is liquid between the saucepan base and the hotplate. This may cause the pan to jump suddenly. Always keep the hotplate and saucepan bases dry.

Overview

The following table provides an overview of the most frequent kinds of damage:

Cracks in the ceramic

Risk of electric shock.!

Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box if the ceramic has fractures, flaws or cracks. Call the after-sales service.

Incorrect repairs

Risk of electric shock.!

Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box, if the appliance is faulty. Call the after-sales service. Repairs may only be carried out by one of our qualified after-sales engineers.

Environmental protection

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally-responsible manner.

Environmental protection

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.

Tips for saving energy

■ Always use the right lid for the pan in question. Cooking without the lid requires four times as much energy.
■ Use pots and pans with even bases. Using cookware with uneven 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 the 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 larger, less full saucepan requires more energy.
■ Use only a little water when cooking. This saves 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 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.

Hotplate and residual heat indicators

The hotplate and residual heat indicators light up when a hotplate is warm:

■ Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have switched on a hotplate.
■ Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is still warm.

You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a small dish warm or to melt chocolate.
