Causes of damage
Caution!
Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
■
Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
■
Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the
■
display area or the surround. This may cause damage.
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
■
Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
■
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
Action
Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Check your cookware.
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
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.
