Avoiding material damage

 en

5

When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and
cooking container could shatter due to over-
heating.

The cooking container in the bain marie
must not directly touch the bottom of the
water-filled pot.

Only use heat-resistant cookware.

An appliance with a cracked or broken sur-
face can cause cuts.

Do not use the appliance if it has a cracked
or broken surface.

2  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.

3  Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.

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

3.2 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 dia-
meter 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 cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

¡

Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
