Conventional electric/glass-ceramic
cooktop
•
Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking
zones when there is no pan in position.
•
The cooktop features different size hotplates/
cooking zones. Use pans whose base
diameter is the same as or slightly larger than
the diameter of the hotplate/cooking zone.
•
To avoid permanently damaging the
glass-ceramic top, do not use:
-
Pots with bottoms that are not
perfectly flat.
-
Metal pots with enamelled bottom.
•
Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or a
support surface.
•
Do not leave the appliance unattended when
frying food - risk of fire.
Specific recommendations for glass-
ceramic cooktops
•
With the fast boiling function, only use
stainless steel pans with double layer
bottoms.
•
If the glass ceramic surface should break or
crack due to violent impact (falling objects,
etc.) do not use it and call After Sales Service
immediately.
•
Do not place food wrapped in aluminium foil,
plastic containers or cloths on the hot
cooking zones.
•
Do not drag pans across the glass-ceramic
surface - risk of scratches.
•
If your hob is provided with halogen lamps,
we recommend that you do not stare at them
during the operation.
•
Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances
on the cooktop. If necessary, clean the
cooktop carefully following the care and
maintenance instructions in this handbook.
•
Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is
equal to that of the cooking zone or slightly
larger.
•
Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
•
If possible, keep the pot covered when cooking.
•
Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little
water in order to cut down cooking time.
•
A pressure cooker allows you to save even
more energy and time.
