During this time avoid touching the cooking zone and take precautions to ensure
children cannot touch the cooking zone.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
Before switching on, check which knob controls the desired cooking zone. It is
best to place the pot or pan on the cooking zone before switching on, and remove
it only after switching off.
Use only flat-bottomed pans/pots with a regular surface (caution must be taken
with cast iron pans). Irregular bottoms can scratch and damage the glass-ceramic
surface.
Never use aluminum pots on the ceramic hob. Check that the bottom of
the pan / pot is clean and dry.
Recommended base thickness is 2-3mm for enameled steel and 4-6mm for
stainless steel with a sandwich bottom.
Never cook food directly on the glass-ceramic cooktop; always use suitable pots.
Be extra cautious as the cooking zones remain hot even once the plates have
been switched off.
Residual heat indicator light will remain on until cooking zones has sufficiently
cooled down to prevent burns and injuries.
It also helps save energy as it shows which cooking zones have enough residual
heat left for further cooking at a low temperature or to keep a dish warm
Do not use the cooktop if the surface is broken or damaged
If there is a crack on the cooktop, disconnect the appliance from the mains break
immediately and contact After-Sales Service.
Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to fall on the glass-ceramic cooktop.
