against electric shock as required by certification
body.
• If your appliance malfunctions or fractures:
– switch off all cooking zones, and contact

9
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or
storage space.
• Please be careful the edges when moving pots
and pans around.
• Do not have the cooking zones on with empty
pans, or with no pots or pans on them.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to
sharp temperature changes, but is not
unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly
hard or sharp objects fall on to it.
• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron,
or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving
these can cause scratches on glass.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a
hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately,
while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage
the surface when removed.
Important: There is a risk of burning yourself
when the glass scraper is used on a hot
cooking zone!
10
Safety
• Keep objects or materials liable to melt away
from the ceramic glass surface, for example,
plastic utensils, aluminium foil, or cooking wraps.
If any other materials or foodstuffs have melted
on the ceramic glass surface, these should also
be cleaned away immediately.
WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with
fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in
fire.
NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but
switch off the appliance and then cover flame
e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items
on the cooking surfaces.
11
Disposal of old appliances
WARNING: Before disposing of old appliances
please make them inoperable so that they
cannot be the source of danger.
To do this, have a qualified person
disconnect the appliance from the house
circuitry.
To protect the environment, it is important that
worn out appliances are disposed of in the correct
manner.
• The appliance must not be disposed of with
household rubbish.
• You can obtain information about collection dates
or public refuse disposal sites from your local
Council or Environmental Health Office.
Note: Moisture coming from or appearing around
Hob.
The moisture could be coming from the wood and
hob when the hob is operated initially or after long
time of no operation.
This is not a fault with the Hob.
12
Suitable Kitchenware
Pots and pans
The better the pot, the better the cooking results.
• You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base
should be as thick and flat as possible.
• When buying new pots and pans, pay particular attention to the
diameter of the base. Maunfacturers often only state the diameter
of the rim.
• Pots with aluminum, or copper bases can cause metallic
discolouring on the ceramic glass surface which is very difficult or
impossible to remove.
• Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots with damaged
bases which are rough and or have burrs on them. Scratches can
occur if they are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly in wards
(concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
• If you use special pots and pans (e.g., a pressure cooker,
simmering pan, wok etc.) please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions.
General information
• The base should always be clean and dry.
• In order to avoid ugly scratches on the ceramic glass cooking
surface, do not slide pots and pans around but lift them up instead
when changing positions.
• Scratches can result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing out
vegetables) which are dragged with the pot across the cooking
surface.
• Always use large pots for dishes with lots of liquid so that nothing
can boil over.
13
Tips on saving energy
You will save valuable energy by observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before you switch on the cooking
zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pot bases increase the power
consumption.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed on the pots
and pans so that they are completely covered.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to
use the residual heat for keeping food warm or for melting
purposes.
• The base of the pot should have the same size as the cooking
zone.
• Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking times by up to 50%.

Cleaning and care
Light Soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a little
cooktop cleaner.
2. Then rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants of cleaner must not be
left on the surface.
3. Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking surface once a
week with a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless
steel cleaner.
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using plenty of clean water
and rub dry with a clean fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn Soiling
1. To remove food that has boiled over or stubborn splashes, use a
glass scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle to the ceramic glass surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the blade across the area.
You can obtain glass scrapers and ceramic glass cleaners
which are suitable for glass ceramic, e.g. CERA CLEAN, cerafix,
sidol for ceran+steel, from your local Hardware Centre.
