Glass ceramic hob
Unlike cast-iron hobs, your cooker has a flat
hob made from glass ceramic with clearly vis-
ible cooking zones. So that the glass ceramic
does not become damaged and lasts for a
long time, you need to care for it and maintain
it and use suitable cookware.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
If the surface is cracked, switch off
the appliance to avoid the possibili-
ty of electric shock. Water that enters
the glass ceramic hob through cracks
may be live! If there are cracks in the
glass ceramic, disconnect the glass
ceramic hob from the mains sup-
ply (switch off circuit breaker(s)/un-
screw fuse[s]) and then Contact (see
“Service” on page EN-34) our service
center.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in damage.
■
Do not push heavy cookware across
the hob. The glass ceramic may be-
come scratched.
■
Wipe the hob and the base of the
pots prior to use to wipe away any
dirt which may cause scratches.

The right cookware
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Glass is a poor heat conductor. Because
of this, thermal stress and breakages
may occur when using glass cookware
on the hob.
■
If possible, use only metal cookware
on the cooking zones.
• The best thing to use is cookware for
electric hobs
– with a completely even base, or if
necessary with very little curvature
towards the inside (base expands
when heated!). This allows heat to be
transferred more effectively and more
quickly.
– with a sufficiently thick base, for ex-
ample enamelled steel pans with 2–3
mm and stainless steel pans with
4–6 mm, which can be identified with
the label “Base thickness in line with
DIN 44904” [Bodenstärke nach DIN
44904].
– of a size that corresponds to the size
of the cooking zones.
