diately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Scratches Salt, sugar and
sand
Rough pot and
pan bases
scratch the
ceramic.
Discolouration Unsuitable clean-
ing agents
Pan abrasion (e.g.
aluminium)
Blisters Sugar, food with a
high sugar content
Only use cleaning agents that

7Environmental protection
Environmental protection
In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving tips
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When
cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is
required. A glass lid means that you can see inside
without having to lift the lid.
■ Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases
increase energy consumption.
■ The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the
same size as the hotplate. In particular, small
saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses.
Please note: cookware manufacturers often indicate
the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually
bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■ Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as
possible with your saucepan.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■ Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will
waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting
which is too high.
■ Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking
times, you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances

1Operating the appliance
Operating the appliance
In this section, you can find out how to set the hotplates.
The table shows heat settings and cooking times for
various meals.
Switching the hob on and off
The main switch is used to switch the hob on and off.
To switch on: touch the # symbol. A signal sounds. The
display light above the main switch and the ‹ indicators
light up. The hob is ready for use.
To switch off: Touch the # symbol until the display light
above the main switch and the displays go out. All
hotplates are switched off. The residual heat indicator
remains on until the hotplates have cooled down
sufficiently.
Notes
■ The hob switches off automatically if all hotplates
have been switched off for more than 20 seconds.
■ The settings remain stored for 4 seconds after the
hob has been switched off. If you switch it on again
during this time, the hob will operate using the
previously stored settings.
Residual heat indicator
The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for
each hotplate.
If • appears in the display the hob is still hot. It may be
used, for example, to keep a small meal warm or to
melt cooking chocolate. As the hotplate cools down
further, the display changes to œ. The display remains lit
until the hotplate has cooled sufficiently.
Setting a hotplate
Set the desired heat setting on the control panel.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting
Heat setting 9 = highest setting
Every heat setting has an intermediate setting. This is
marked in the control panel with the û symbol.
