Advice and hints for using the
cooking zones
If you use the advice below
you will save energy and
make your cleaning tasks
easier.
Adjust the cooking zones
correctly.
Select the highest setting
for the cooking zones until the food is
brought to the boil. Then reduce the
setting as far as possible, without the
food going off the boil.
Use level saucepans. An
uneven saucepan may
increase the electricity
consumption by up to 50 per
cent. Check whether your
saucepans have level bases
by placing the item in question
upside down on a work top and
positioning a ruler on the base.
A curved base, both inwards and
outwards, will prolong the
cooking time and increase the
energy consumption
The saucepan should match
the cooking zone – or be
slightly larger. Remember
that a large saucepan can also
hold small quantities. If the
diameter of the base is too small,
the energy consumption will
increase, and any food boiling
over will burn onto the hot
cooking zone.
Saucepans with very
shiny/bright bases will
prolong the cooking time
slightly compared with
cooking utensils with
matt/dark bases.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the
saucepan. Without a lid you
use more than three times as
much electricity.

The decorative pattern on the ceramic
surface can become scratched and
marred with use, depending upon
maintenance, but does not adversely
affect performance.
Such blemishes are not covered by the
warranty.
Spills and melts must be removed
immediately, while the burner is still
warm, using the scraper supplied with
the unit. Especially damaging are melted
plastic, aluminium, or any foodstuff
containing sugar, including natural sugar,
as these can create permanent
“pockmarks” and craters on the ceramic
surface. After scraping polish thoroughly
with the cleaning agent supplied with the
unit.
Utensils which have been in contact with
the above-mentioned melted materials
must be cleaned thoroughly before used
again on the ceramic-top hob unit.
Defects in the ceramic surface which can
be related to the above are not covered
by the warranty.
Utensils with aluminium bottoms can
cause light spots on the ceramic surface.
These can be removed with the cleaning
agent supplied with the unit.
Warning:
Aluminium foil and plastic utensils are
not to be placed on hot surfaces.
The surface may not be used for
storage.
Do not stare at the heating units
when in operation.
