How to avoid damaging the appliance
•
In the case of thermal failure, switch the solid plate off and allow to cool
down completely. Do not put any dishes on it. Do not cool with cold water
under any circumstances.
•
Do not climb onto the appliance.
•
To avoid damaging the silicon grouting, do not put hot cookware on the
frame.
•
Do not cut or prepare food on the surface or drop hard objects onto it. Do
not drag cookware across the surface.
•
Make sure than no sugary foods or juices end up on the hot cooking zones.
This can damage the surface. If sugary foods or juices do end up on the
hot cooking zones, remove these immediately with a glass ceramic hob
scraper (while the hob is still hot).
•
Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
•
Pots with pure copper or aluminium bases should not be used for cooking
as they leave behind traces that can be difficult to clean. If the traces are
not removed immediately after cooking with a suitable cleaning agent, they
can be permanently burned on and therefore permanently ruin the visual ap-
pearance of the appliance.
•
Sliding pots and cookware across the glass ceramic causes scratches. You
can largely avoid these by lifting pots and cookware when putting them into
place.
