The Ceramic
Cooktop
The ceramic zones are controlled by knobs with
13 positions. In “0” position, the zone is switched
off. The ceramic zone is activated as soon as a
position between 1 – 12 is selected. If you select
a position, the zone will emanate a red glow and
emit heat to both the pan as well as the ceramic
glass.
Some zones have an extension zone. This can be
activated by turning the knob related to the zone
in question past 12. By turning the knob past 12
again, the extension zone will be switched off.
There is a residual heat indicator lamp for each
zone, which indicates that the zone is hot. The
lamp will continue to burn as long as the zone is
hot, even after it has been switched off.
Important instructions:
Do not leave the cooking zones switched on if no
pot or pan is on them. Avoid temperature chan-
ges to the glass ceramic cooktop. For example,
do not pour cold water on a hot cooktop. Make
sure the pan completely covers the cook zone,
and that it is in the middle of the zone.
Avoid contact between sugar, synthetic fabrics or
aluminum foil and the hot glass plate. These ma-
terials could cause damage to the vitroceramic
surface, or even cause it to crack: switch off the
appliance and remove these from the surface im-
mediately (warning: risk of burn injuries!)
You can clean the ceramic cooktop just like any
other glassware, with a soft and moist cloth.
There are special cleaning agents for ceramic
glass plates.
