Avoiding material damage

This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

Damage	Cause	Measure
Stains	Unsupervised cooking process.	Monitor the cooking process.
Stains, blisters	Spilled food, especially food with a high sugar content.

Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Stains, blisters or fractures in the glass| Defective cookware, cookware with melted enamel or cookware with copper or alu- minium base.| Use suitable cookware that is in a good con- dition.
Stains, discolouration| Unsuitable cleaning methods.| Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when it is cold.
Blisters or fractures in the glass| Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac- cessories or other hard or pointed objects.| When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob- jects fall onto the hob.
Scratches, discolour- ation| Rough cookware bases or moving the cook- ware on the hob.| Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when moving it.
Scratches| Salt, sugar or sand.| Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Damage to the appli- ance| Cooking with frozen cookware.| Never use frozen cookware.
Damage to the cook- ware or the appliance| Cooking without contents.| Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone.
Glass damage| Melted material on the hot cooking zone or hot pot lid on the glass.| Do not place greaseproof paper or alu- minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the hob.
Overheating| Hot cookware on the control panel or on the frame.| Never place hot cookware on these areas.

ATTENTION!
A fan is located on the underside of this hob.

If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob, do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling.
There must be a clearance of at least 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point.

Environmental protection and saving energy

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy.

Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter.
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy. Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.
Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.

Size and characteristics of the cookware

To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth. Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is suitable. Refer to → “Cookware test”, Page 16 for more details.

Notes

Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the cookware.
Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

Familiarising yourself with your appliance

Cooking with induction
In comparison to conventional hobs, induction techno-logy brings with it a series of changes and has a num-ber of benefits such as time savings when cooking and frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of clean-ing and care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly in the cookware.

Control panel
Individual details, such as colour and shape, may differ from the figure.

Notes

Always keep the control panel clean and dry.
Do not place any cookware near the displays or sensors. The electronics may overheat.

Touch buttons
