Causes of damage
Caution!
– 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.
– 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.
▯ 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.
