2 Preventing material damage
ATTENTION!
Heat can cause damage to adjacent appliances or kit-
chen units. If the appliance is in operation for an exten-
ded period, heat and moisture will be generated.
▶
Open a window or switch on an extractor hood lead-
ing to the outside.
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
▶
Do not use two burners or heat sources to heat one
single item of cookware.
▶
Do not use griddle plates, clay pots, etc. for a long
time at full power.
A build-up of heat may damage the controls.
▶
Do not use a large item of cookware on burners that
are close to the control knobs.
If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could
lead to malfunctions.
▶
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position
when the appliance is not being used.
Handling the cookware roughly may damage the sur-
face of the appliance.
▶
Handle the cookware on the hob carefully.
▶
Do not place any heavy objects on the hob.
Moving the cookware may scratch the glass.
▶
Lift the cookware when moving it.
Damage may occur if hard or pointed objects fall on
the hob.
▶
Do not let hard or pointed objects fall onto the hob.
▶
Do not bump into any of the edges of the hob.
Salt, sugar or sand that may fall from the vegetables
will scratch the glass.
▶
Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage
space.
Melted sugar or food with a high sugar content may
damage the glass.
▶
Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass
scraper.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Tip:
Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡
You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡
Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡
The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
¡
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be
found on the attached appliance pass and online on
the product page for your appliance.
3.2 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
