OPERATION
When switching the plate on and off and setting the heating power
always touch
only one sensor
. If you touch several sensors at the same time (with the exception of
switching off the hotplate or the clock), the system will ignore the entered settings and,
should you keep touching the sensors for a long time, will emit a fault signal.
The ceramic plate is equipped with sensors operated by touching the marked areas with a
finger. Every touch of a sensor is confirmed with a sound.
Proper cookware
There is specially made and tested cookware for cooking on ceramic plates availabl on the
market. Observe instructions provided by the cookware manufacturers.
Cookware with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave metallic discoloration, very difficult
to remove. Be particularly careful when using enamelware, as it may irreparably damage
your plate when left on a hotplate with the content boiled down. To achieve optimal power
consumption, optimal cooking times and to avoid burning of food boiled over on the plate,
observe the following recommendations.
Bottoms:
The cookware should have a stable, flat bottom, as sharp-edged bottoms or bottoms with
burrs and charred food residuals can scratch your ceramic plate and have abrasive impact on it!
Sizes:
The diameter of the bottom surface of the pot should match the diameter of the used heating
element.
Lids:
Lids prevent heat from escaping from the pot and thus shorten the cooking time and reduce
the consumption of power.
●
Thoroughly clean your ceramic hob first. The ceramic hob should be treated with the
same care as a glass surface.
●
Switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the appliance could emit
an unpleasant smell during first use.
●
Operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.
