Operating Instructions
To Avoid damaging your appliance
•Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
•Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans are empty.
•Glass ceramic is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust; however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that fall on the cooking surface can damage it.
•Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
•Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to the paint may occur.
•Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling agents, are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.
•If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately with a scraper while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be dam- aged when it is removed.
•Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the ceramic glass surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed immediately using the scraper.
