5 How to use the hob
General information about cooking
Spills may damage the
glass ceramic surface and
cause fire.
Do not use vessels with
concave or convex
bottoms.
Use only the saucepans
and pans with flat bot-
toms. They ensure easier
heat transfer.
Tips about glass ceramic hobs
Using the hobs
DANGER Risk of fire by
overheated oil!
When you heat
oil, do not leave it unattended.
Never try to extinguish the fire
with water!
When oil has
caught fire, immediately cover
the pot or pan with a lid. Switch
off the hob if safe to do so and
phone the fire service.
x
Glass ceramic surface is heatproof and is
not affected by big temperature
differences.
x
Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a
place of storage or as a cutting board.
x
Use only the saucepans and pans with
machined bottoms. Sharp edges create
scratches on the surface.
x
Do not use aluminum vessels and
saucepans. Aluminum damages the glass
ceramic surface.
x
Before frying foods, always dry them well
and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure
complete thawing of frozen foods before
frying.
x
Do not cover the vessel you use when
heating oil.
x
Place the pans and saucepans in a
manner so that their handles are not over
the hob to prevent heating of the handles.
Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting
vessels on the hob.
x
Do not place empty vessels and
saucepans on cooking zones that are
switched on. They might get damaged.
x
Operating a cooking zone without a vessel
or saucepan on it will cause damage to the
product. Turn off the cooking zones after
the cooking is complete.
x
As the surface of the product can be hot,
do not put plastic and aluminum vessels
on it. Clean any such melted materials off
the surface immediately.
x
Such vessels should not be used to keep
foods either.
x
Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels
only.
x
Put appropriate amount of food in
saucepans and pans. Thus, you will not
have to make any unnecessary cleaning
by preventing the dishes from overflowing.
x
Do not put covers of saucepans or pans
on cooking zones.
x
Place the saucepans in a manner so that
they are centered on the cooking zone.
When you want to move the saucepan
onto another cooking zone, lift and place it
onto the cooking zone you want instead of
sliding it.

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an
operation light and a hot zone warning
indicator.
Hot zone warning indicator indicates the
status of the active zone and it remains lit
after the plate is turned off. When the
temperature of the plate cools down to a
level that it can be touched by hand, warning
indicator turns off. Flickering of the hot zone
warning indicator is not a failure .
