HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
• Stop the cooking zones before the
end of the cooking time to use resid-
ual heat.
• The bottom of pans and cooking
zones must have the same dimen-
sion.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
In induction cooking a powerful electro-
magnetic field generates an almost in-
stant heat inside the cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, a multi-layer bottom
(marked as correct by a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if …
• ... some water boils very quickly on a
zone set to the highest heat setting
• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must
be as thick and flat as possible.
Automatic switch off
If one of the cooking zones is switched on
without an appropriate pan on the corre-
spondent area the cooking surface auto-
matically switches itself off after a couple of
minutes. If one of the cooking zones is not
switched off after a certain time, or if the
heat setting is not modified, the relevant
cooking zone switches off automatically.
Before being used again, the control knob
must be set to the off position.

Information on acrylamides
Important!
According to the newest
scientific knowledge, if you brown food
(specially the one which contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus,
we recommend that you cook at the lowest
temperatures and do not brown food too
much.
CARE AND CLEANING
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Warning! Before any maintenance or
cleaning can be carried out, you must
disconnect the hob from the electricity
supply.
The hob is best cleaned while it is still
warm, as spillage can be removed
more easily than if it is left to cool.
Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive
cleaning agents will damage the
appliance.
For your safety, do
not clean the appli-
ance with steam blasters or high-pres-
sure cleaners.
Scratches or dark stains on the glass
ceramic have no effect on how the ap-
pliance operates.
To remove the dirt:
1. –
Remove immediately: melted plas-
tic, plastic foil, and food with sugar. If
not, the dirt can cause damage to the
appliance. Use a special scraper for
the glass . Put the scraper on the
glass surface at an acute angle and
move the blade on the surface .
–
Remove after the appliance is suf-
ficiently cool:
limescale rings , water
rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discol-
orations. Use a special cleaning agent
for glass ceramic or stainless steel.
