■ Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
■ Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
■ Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the
display area or the surround. This may cause damage.
Overview
The following table provides an overview of the most frequent
kinds of damage:
Damage Cause Action
Stains Food spills Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Rough pot and pan bases scratch the
ceramic.
Discolouration Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium) Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Check your cookware.
■ Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
■ Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.

Environmental protection
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 (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
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.
Getting to know your appliance
The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs.
An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on
page 2.
■ 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.
