The Right Cooking Utensils
Saucepans and frying pans
Saucepans and fryingpans shouldnot besmaller than
the cooking zone, and preferably not more than10-15
mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.
Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth,
flat bottoms.
Thebottomsshouldalwaysbecleananddry. Cookwith
a lid in place.
Checkthatthebottomsofutensilsaresmothandundamaged; bottoms with burrs and sharp edges will
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
Scratches can also be caused by grains of sand (e.g.
originating from the previous washing of vegetables),
drawn over the cooking surface with the pan, or by
burrs and the rims of pan bottoms.
Toavoidscratchingordamaging the ceramic glasssurface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by
lifting them, and not by sliding.
Utensils with aluminiumand copperbottoms can leave
behind metallic discolourationswhich canonlybe remnoved with difficulty or sometimes not at all.
When cold, pan bases normally curve slightly inwards
by approx. 0,1-0,5 mm (are concave). In no case
should they curve outwards (be convex).
Followanyguidelinesprovided by the saucepanmanufacturer. Ensure they are recommended for use on
ceramic hobs.
Check that the appliance is switched off after
use.
Energy consumption
To save energy, you should . . .
S use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth,
flat bottoms.
S place pots and pans in position before switching in
the cooking zone.
S wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.

Cleaning and Care
Beforecleaning, makesurethe hob iscool and disconnected from the power supply.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such
as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring
powder, or sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agentssuch asVitroclenandceramic
scrapers are available from departement stores, electrical specialist shops, and in drugand grocery stores.
Cleaning after each use
S Slight, non-burnt soiling can be wiped off with a
damp cloth.
S Burnt soiling has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic glass surface with
a damp cloth, and Vitroclen.
Stain removal
S Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be
removed fromthe cookingzone witha ceramichob
cleaning agent such as Vitroclen when cool.
S Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar con-
tent, plastics, or kitchen foil - must be removed
immediately witha scraper. If this typeof soilage is
not removed immediately it can cause irrepairable
damage to the ceramic glass surface. When the
surfacehas cooled wipeoverwith adampcloth and
Vitroclen.
S Beforeusing any detergentor cleaningagent onthe
ceramic glass top, ensure they are recommended
by the manufacturerfor useonceramic glasshobs.
S Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking
zones.Ensureanyresiduesarewipedoffbeforethe
cooking zones are used again.
Special problems
if a chemical cleaner proves inadequate. . ..Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
when darks stains occur. . ..If the use of a scraper and a stainless steel cleaning
agent proves unsuccessful, your decor surface has
most likely been abraded by using unsuitable cleaning
agents, or by pan bottoms with a scouring effect. This
will not impair the efficiency of your cooking surface.

cooking zones
when the surface shows scratches or. . ..
impressions
Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable
cleaning agents have been used. The discolorations
can only be removed with considerable effort, using a
ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaning agent.
These blemishes, caused by scraping or melted on
objects, cannot be removed. This will not impair the
efficiency of your cooking surface.

Prior to connection it should be checked whether the
voltage stated on the type plate -- i.e. the nominal voltage of the appliance and of the oven/control box -- is
identical with the prevailing mains voltage. The type
plate ist located on the hobs bottom.
Themains connection mustbecarriedout in awaythat
an all--pole insulating device is existing with a contact
opening of at least 3 mm, e.g. earth--leakage circuit-breaker or fuse.
