Choice of cookware
There is specially tested cookware available for cooking and baking in cookers with ceramic
hob. Follow the instructions of their manufacturer.
Cookware with aluminium or copper base can leave stains, which very difficult to remove.
Particular caution is advised in the case of enamel-painted cookware, which could cause
irreparable damage when contents off accidentally. To achieve optimal energy use, the
optimal cooking times and to prevent seething food from getting burned on the hob, please
follow these guidelines.
Cookware base:
Cookware should have always a stable, flat base. Base with sharp edges, burrs and the
charred remains of food may scratch the ceramic hob!
Cookware size:
Cookware diameter should correspond as closely as possible the diameter of the hob cooking
zone.
Cookware lid:
Lid prevents heat from escaping and thus reduces heating time and lowers energy consump-
tion.
The ceramic hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor fields, which are
operated by touching the marked area with a finger.
Each time a sensor field is touched, an acoustic signal can be heard.
When changing the heat setting, attention should be paid that only one sensor field at a
time is touched. When two or more sensor fields are touched at the same time (except
when a cooking zone is switched off), the appliance ignores the control signals and may
trigger a fault indication if sensor fields are touched for a long time.
Before using the appliance for the first time
●
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.
OPERATION
The first time you connect the product to the power outlet, the cooking zone display may
show the letter "H". It is not a mistake and the letter "H" will go out after about 60 minutes.
