This hotplate can be activated when the temperature of the electronic unit returns to normal. Each hotplate is equipped with an interior temperature limiter that switches off the hotplate if the radiant surface is heated excessively.
• If a hotplate is left on accidentally, it will automatically be switched off after a period of time has elapsed, depending on the power level that has been selected:

Energy saving

• For best results, it is advisable to
• Use cookware with a flat bottom only.
• If possible, use a pot lid during cooking.
• Use a pressure cooker to save even more energy and time.
• Place the pot in the middle of the cooking zone marked on the hob.

Use of Cookware

• Most stainless steel, enamel, iron, ceramic and copper pans can be used on radiant cooktops.
• Recommended is cookware with Sandwich/capsulated bottom.
• Hotplates should not be switched on without a pan on top. The base of the pan should be flat and dry. Pans that have been used on gas cookers are not normally completely flat and absorb heat badly.
• Make sure that the diameter of the pan is at least that of the hotplate
• Avoid dragging pans over the radiant glass surface, as it may get scratched. Always lift the pan.
• Never use tin foil or plastic containers. They may melt and fuse permanently with the radiant glass surface.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Disconnect the plug and wait until the unit is cooled down completely. Clean it after every use.
• If the pots/pans are used without being cleaned, discoloration or cooked on stains may occur.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, scrubbing brush or polishing powder to clean the cooker.

• Wipe using dish washing agent and damp cloth.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up dirt from the air intake and exhaust vent.
• Never run water over the unit (Water getting inside may cause a malfunction).
