Cooking Table; General - ETNA A361KZT Notice D'utilisation

Damage arising from the use of unsuitable pans or
from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Noise in the base of the pan
While cooking, you might hear a rattling noise in
the base of the pan. This is harmless. The noise is
due to the high power of the cooking zone having
an effect on the base of the pan. Reduce the
rattling noise by selecting a lower setting.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in
pressure cookers. The cooking zone reacts very
quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up
to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking zone
off, the cooking process stops immediately.
Used pans
Pans that have already been used for cooking
n
on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on
an induction hob.

General

Daily cleaning
Although food that has boiled over cannot burn
on, it is still recommended that you clean the hob
immediately after use. For daily cleaning, you can
best use a mild cleaning agent and a damp cloth.
Dry the hob with kitchen paper or a dry cloth.
Stubborn stains
Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild
cleaning agent - for example, washing-up liquid.
Remove water marks and lime stains with vinegar.
Traces of metals (due to sliding pans) can be
difficult to remove. Special products are available
on the market to deal with this. Remains of food
that has boiled over are best removed with a glass
scraper. Melted plastic and sugar can also be
removed with a glass scraper.
Never use
You should never use scouring agents. These
cause scratches in which lime deposits and dirt
can accumulate. Never use sharp objects such as
steel wool and scourers. Before you start to clean,
turn the childproof lock on.
