- Causes of damage
- Caution!
- ■ Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
- ■ Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate. Doing so may cause damage.
- ■ Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.
- ■ Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it.
- ■ Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.

- Energy-saving advice
- ■ Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
- ■ Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot more energy.
- ■ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
- ■ Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
- ■ Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
- ■ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
- f Induction cooking
- Induction cooking
- Advantages of induction cooking
- ■ Saves time when boiling and frying.
- ■ Saves energy.
- ■ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly.
- ■ Heat control and safety – the hob increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from the hotplate, without having to switch it off...
- ■ Cookware made from enamelled steel
- ■ Cookware made from cast iron
- ■ Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel.
- ■ If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking
- ■ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminium, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.

- Chef's recommendations
- ■ When heating up puree, cream soups and thick sauces, stir occasionally.
- ■ Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
- ■ When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape for a good cooking result.
- ■ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve the food.
- ■ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
- ■ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used to set the optimum cooking time.
- ■ For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil should be avoided.
- ■ To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
- ■ Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven gloves.
- ■ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in section ~ "Environmental protection"

Cookware check
This function can be used to check the speed and
quality of the cooking process depending on the
cookware.
The result is a reference value and depends on the
properties of the cookware and the hotplate being used.
1. With the cookware still cold, fill it with approx.
200 ml of water and place it on the centre of the
hotplate with the diameter that most closely matches
that of the base of the cookware.
2. Go to the basic settings and select the ™‚ƒ setting.
3. Touch the settings range. A will flash on the hotplate
display.
The function has now been activated.
After 10 seconds, the result for the quality and speed of
the cooking process will appear on the hotplate display.
Check the result using the following table:
To reactivate this function, touch the settings range.
Notes
■ If the diameter of the hotplate used is much smaller
than the diameter of the cookware, only the middle
of the cookware can be expected to heat up. This
may result in the cooking results not being as good
as expected or being less than satisfactory.
■ You can find information on this function in the
section on ~ "Basic settings".
■ You can find information on the type, size and
positioning of the cookware in the section on
~ "Induction cooking".

Cleaning
Suitable maintenance and cleaning products can be
purchased from the after-sales service or in our e-Shop.
Hob
Cleaning
Always clean the hob after cooking. This will prevent
food deposits from becoming burned on. Only clean the
hob after the residual heat indicator has gone out.
Clean the hob with a damp dish cloth and dry it with a
cloth or towel to prevent limescale build-up.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type
of hob. Observe the manufacturer's instructions on the
product packaging.
Never use:
■ Undiluted washing-up liquid
■ Cleaning agents designed for dishwashers
■ Abrasive cleaners
■ Harsh cleaning agents, such as oven spray and
limescale remover
■ Scouring pads
■ High-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
Stubborn dirt is best removed with a glass scraper,
available from retailers. Observe the manufacturer's
instructions.
You can obtain a suitable glass scraper from customer
services or through our online shop.
Using a special sponge for cleaning glass-ceramic
hobs achieves a great cleaning result.
Note: Do not use any cleaning agents while the hob is
still hot. This may mark the surface. Make sure that any
residue left by cleaning agents is removed.
Hob surround
To prevent damage to the hob surround, observe the
following instructions:
■ Only use warm soapy water
■ Wash new dish cloths thoroughly before use.
■ Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
■ Do not use a glass scraper or sharp objects.

not heat up.*
‚
The cookware is taking longer to heat up than expected and the
cooking process is not going as well as it should.*
ƒ
The cookware is heating up correctly and the cooking process
is going well.
* If there is a smaller hotplate available, test the cookware again on the
smaller hotplate.
Potential marks
Limescale and water
marks
Clean the hob as soon as it has cooled down.
You can use a cleaning agent suitable for
glass-ceramic hobs.*
Sugar, rice starch or
plastic
Clean immediately. Use a glass scraper. Cau-
tion: Risk of burns.*
* Then clean with a damp dish cloth and dry with a cloth or towel.
