Advice and hints for using the  
cooking zones  
If you use the advice below  
you will save energy and  
make your cleaning tasks  
easier.  
Saucepans with very  
shiny/bright bases will  
prolong the cooking time  
slightly compared with  
cooking utensils with  
matt/dark bases.  
Adjust the cooking zones  
correctly. Select the highest setting  
for the cooking zones until the food is  
brought to the boil. Then reduce the  
setting as far as possible, without the  
food going off the boil.  
Use a tightly fitting lid on the  
saucepan. Without a lid you  
use more than three times as  
much electricity.  
Use level saucepans. An  
uneven saucepan may  
increase the electricity  
consumption by up to 50 per  
cent. Check whether your  
saucepans have level bases  
by placing the item in question  
upside down on a work top and  
positioning a ruler on the base.  
A curved base, both inwards and  
outwards, will prolong the  
cooking time and increase the  
energy consumption  
The saucepan should match  
the cooking zone – or be  
slightly larger. Remember  
that a large saucepan can also  
hold small quantities. If the  
diameter of the base is too small,  
the energy consumption will  
increase, and any food boiling

decreases the heat transfer between  
cooking zones and cookware.  
After use the cooking zones should be  
wiped with a damp cloth with washing

follow these steps:  
1. Remove stains etc., with the  
ceramic hob scraper.  
2. Make sure that the ceramic hob  
has cooled down. Use a ceramic  
cleaning agent, such as vitroclen.

Tips on the use of the  
ceramic hob unit  
Do not slide saucepans across the  
surface of the hob - always lift the pan  
when placing it on, or removing it  
from the ceramic surface.  
Wipe the bottom surface of the pots  
and pans with a clean dry cloth before  
placing them on the ceramic surface.  
This helps to reduce cleaning and  
prevents scratching the hob glass.  
Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm.  
Select the highest setting for the  
cooking zones until the food is brought  
to the boil, then reduce the setting.  
Use saucepans with an even base. An  
uneven based saucepan may increase  
the electricity consumption by up to  
50%.  
The saucepan should match the  
cooking zone or be slightly larger.  
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan  
to reduce electricity consumption.

The decorative pattern on the ceramic  
surface can become scratched and  
marred with use, depending upon  
maintenance, but does not adversely  
affect performance.  
Such blemishes are not covered by the  
warranty and do not affect the  
operation of the hob.  
Spills and melts must be removed  
immediately, while the surface is still  
warm, using the scraper supplied with  
the unit. Especially damaging are melted  
plastic, aluminum, or any foodstuff  
containing sugar, including natural sugar,  
as these can create permanent  
“pockmarks” and craters on the ceramic  
surface. After scraping polish thoroughly  
with the cleaning agent supplied with the  
unit.  
Utensils which have been in contact with  
the above-mentioned melted materials  
must be cleaned throughly before used  
again on the ceramic-top hob unit.  
Defects in the ceramic surface which can  
be related to the above are not covered  
by the warranty.  
Warning:  
Aluminum foil and plastic utensils are  
not to be placed on hot surfaces.  
The surface may not be used for storage.  
Do not stare at the heating units when  
in operation.
