2. Things to watch out for
2.1 Notes on the right types of saucepans
Use only pots and pans with bottoms that are firm, even and as thick as possible. This applies particularly to cooking with high temperatures, e.g.
In order to work directly on the cooking zones, you can use cooking utensils made from fireproof glass or porcelain if their bottoms are flat polished. Please note the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always take away overflow food.
Clean the hob before using it for the first time. Afterwards, switch on the elements to the highest level one after the other, without pots, for three minutes in order to eliminate any odours due to newness and so that any moisture that may still be in the heating element may evaporate. This is necessary so that the electronic circuits function properly.
2.2 Important
Attention: The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use. Keep small children away at all times.
Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface. Under certain circumstances the material is sensitive to mechanical stresses and strains. A heavy knock or blow in a small area can cause the ceramic hob to break. If careless treatment results in a break, split or crack, the ceramic hob must immediately be taken out of use and disconnected from the mains power supply. To do this, switch off the safety switch for the oven connection in the fuse box. Customer Service must be contacted.
Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a storage area! Never prepare food in aluminium foil and plastic containers on the hot cooking zone.
Do not switch the hob on without using it for cooking. Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects directly underneath the hob.
When preparing food with fat or oil stay nearby. Overheated oil can ignite. Never pour water into burning fat or oil. Risk of burning! Cover the dish in order to extinguish the fire and switch off the cooking zone. Let the dish cool down on the cooking zone. In addition, make sure that leads from electrical appliances plugged into nearby sockets cannot come into contact with the hotplates.
Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!
