Some instructions on cookware
Only use pans with even and flat bottoms.
Uneven pan bottoms prolong the boost times and increase the power require-
ment. Rough pan bottoms scratch the glass-ceramic area when shifted about.
When using fireproof glass or porcelain cookware, please follow the manufac-
turers instructions.
Choose a pan with a diameter at least as large as the cooking zone.
You will thereby save energy and cooking time. You will also avoid overheating
of the cooking area.
Wherever possible, place a lid on the pan.
You will save a lot of energy by cooking in a closed pan. Liquids and foods
will only boil over if the temperature is too high. For the cooking zones, you
can precisely set the temperature required. With a little practice, you will read-
ily make the correct choice of cooking settings so that nothing boils over even
when a lid is in place.
Cleaning and care
[
Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar ap-
pliance!
■
Never use sharp or abrasive agents!
It is sufficient to clean with a damp
cloth and a little washing-up liquid
after usage. Wipe dry.
■
Incrustation due to boilied over foods
are best presoftened with a wet
cloth. Then remove them with a glass
scraper.
Sugar and melted plastic
should be removed while the cooking
area is still hot.
■
Clean the glass-ceramic cooking area after every use.
■
Heavy soiling can be cleaned with a cleanser and enough water. Wipe dry
with a cloth.
■
Care for your glass-ceramic cooking area once a week. Regular care builds
up a protective layer and also eases day to day cleaning. Please follow the
instructions of the cleaner or cleanser manufacturer concerned.
■
For EGS models only:
Please clean your grill regularly, but do not use any cleaning agents which
contain silicone. These will leave a film on the grill surface which could be
absorbed by the food upon next use. For this reason it is essential that you
closely observe the cleaning product manufacturer’s instructions.
Even heavy soiling can be cleaned with a cleanser and enough water. Af-
terwards always wipe dry with a cloth. Your grill will shine if you then treat
it with a little lemon juice or vinegar.
What to do if there is a fault
Unplug the appliance befor repair!
Check carefully to make sure that the fault is not due to misoperation. You
can rectify many faults yourself.
Important note:
Repairs should only be carried out by an authorised technician!
Even during the guarantee period repairs will not be free of charge if due to
incorrect operation or to non-adherence to our instructions given under "What
to do if there is a fault".
You should always give the data on the rating plate to your service centre in
case you have enquiries or want to order spare parts. The rating plate is lo-
cated underneath the hob.
