Important warnings

Pots

The glass-ceramic surface must be cleaned with the aid of a damp sponge and dish soap.

Do not use aggressive and abrasive detergents, pot scrubbers and stain or rust removers.

•Do not operate the cooking zones without any pots on them. Do not use the appliance to heat the room!

•Make sure that the cooking zones and pots are always clean and dry, so as to ensure optimal heat transmission and to avoid damaging the glass-ceramic surface.

•Overheated fat can easily ignite. Be extremely careful when preparing dishes that require the use of bacon fat or oil (e.g. chips).

•Do not place wet pots or steamy lids on the cooking zones. Dampness damages the cooking zones.

•Do not leave warm pots to cool on cold cooking zones (i.e. that have been inactive) as the condensation that forms underneath the pot accelerates corrosion.

Important warnings concerning the glass-ceramic surface

•Although the glass-ceramic cooker hob reaches the pre-set temperature very quickly, the surrounding surface remains cold.

•The cooker hob resists temperature variations.

•The cooker hob can withstand knocks and will not damaged by positioning pots with added force.

•Do not use the glass-ceramic surface as a worktop. Sharp objects may scratch it.

•It is forbidden to prepare dishes in aluminium or plastic containers on hot cooking zones. Do not place any plastic or aluminium object (e.g. aluminium foil) on the glass-ceramic surface.

•Do not use the glass-ceramic hob if the surface is broken or cracked.

Pointed objects that fall on the glass-ceramic hob may cause the latter to break. The effects may appear immediately or at a later stage. If you notice any visible cracks, disconnect the appliance from the power supply immediately.

•If sugar or foodstuffs with high sugar content fall on the hot cooker hob, clean the surface immediately.

Suggestions on the use of pots

Use high-quality pots with a straight and stable base.

•Heat transmission improves if the diameter of the pot base matches that of the cooking zone, and by placing the pot in the centre of the cooking zone.

•Follow the suggestions of the pot manufacturer when cooking in heat-resistant glass pots or porcelain pots.

•Pressure cookers must be supervised until they reach the right pressure. The cooking zone starts functioning at maximum power then after a while, lower the heat setting using the appropriate sensor on the basis of the pot manufacturer's indications.

•Make sure that the pressure cooker and all other pots contain enough liquids during cooking, as cooking with an empty pot causes overheating and damage to both the pot and cooking zone.

•Heat-resistant glass pots with flat base may be used on the glass- ceramic hob provided their diameter matches that of the cooking zone. Pots with larger diameter may crack due to thermal tension.

•Follow the indications of the pot manufacturer when using special pots.

•When cooking with light-coloured pots (e.g. light-coloured metal) or pots with thick bases, boiling point will be delayed by a few minutes (up to 10 minutes). We recommend using pots with dark and flat base for boiling large amounts of water.
