with even bottom for these purposes.
The overheating of zone under the glass ceramics
plate is prevented with help of a temperature limiter.
The signal light of residual heat in the front part of
glass ceramics plate is signaling the increased
temperature of cooking zone surface, even when the
heating element is switched off already.
The energy of hot cooking zone can be used for
other purposes. This signal light switches off after
cooling down of cooking zone, when no burning
danger exists more here.

BASIC RULES FOR USING OF GLASS
CERAMIC HOBS

 Do not switch on the cooking zone before puting

a pot on it and never use the hotplate for heating
up the room.

 Whatever fat or oil on the cooking zones could

ignite. Therefore be careful at using of such
materials during food preparation (e.g. chips) and
always watch the whole cooking process.

 Use pots with even bottom only; the bottom

surface should be without impressed impurities,
which could cause scratches.

 The grains of sand could cause scratches, which

could not be removed. Put pots with clean bottom
on the cooking surface only. Lift the pot before
changing its position on the hotplate.

 Do not use pots from clay (crockery); they could

scratch the surface of hotplate.
