Residual Heat Indicator
This warning lamp lights up when the
surface of the cooking zone reaches a
temperature, which could cause
burning. This lamp also remains lit
after the heated-up area has been
switched off as long as the residual
heat of the surface still could cause
burns. The lamp will only go out when
there is no more danger (temperature
below 50°C).
The lamp with four lights indicates the
corresponding cooking zones. This
way it is possible to see at once which
zone still hot.

Cooking equipment
Specially tested cooking and frying pans
for ceramic hobs exist. The following
advice should be considered to achieve
optimal energy consumption as well as to
avoid that overboiling food could be burnt
onto the cooking zones. Cooking pans
with aluminium or copper bottoms are
unsuitable for use. These materials can
cause stains, which cannot be removed
anymore.
Bottom of pans:
Cooking and frying pans should have a flat
and solid base. A base with rough edges
can scratch and leave abrasion marks on
the ceramic surface! Ask for electric
saucepans.
Size of pans:
Pan or pot diameters should be a little bit
larger than the diameter of the cooking
zone.
Lid of pans:
A lid prevents heat to escape.
Note:
• Always place the pan first before you
switch on the cooking zone, otherwise
unnecessary energy is consumed.
• Do not deposit items on the hob’s
surface.
• The cooking zone and the bottoms of
saucepans should be dry and clean.
Thus you save unnecessary cleaning
work.
• Sugar (solid or liquid) as well as plastic
material should never get onto the hot
surface of the hob. If it does happen do
not turn off the cooking zone!
