2 Avoiding material damage

This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

Damage Cause Action

Stains Unsupervised cooking process. Monitor the cooking process.

Stains, blisters Spilled food, especially food with a high

sugar content.

Remove immediately with a glass scraper.

Stains, blisters or

fractures in the glass

Defective cookware, cookware with melted

enamel or cookware with copper or alu-

minium base.

Use suitable cookware that is in a good con-

dition.

Stains, discolouration Unsuitable cleaning methods. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for

glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when

it is cold.

Blisters or fractures in

the glass

Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-

cessories or other hard or pointed objects.

When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-

jects fall onto the hob.

Scratches, discolour-

ation

Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-

ware on the hob.

Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when

moving it.

Scratches Salt, sugar or sand. Do not use the hob as a work surface or

storage space.

Environmental protection and saving energy en

Damage Cause Action

Damage to the appli-

ance

Cooking with frozen cookware. Never use frozen cookware.

Damage to the cook-

ware or the appliance

Cooking without contents. Never place or heat empty cookware on a

hot cooking zone.

Glass damage Melted material on the hot cooking zone or

hot pot lid on the glass.

Do not place greaseproof paper or alu-

minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids

on the hob.

Overheating Hot cookware on the control panel or on the

frame.

Never place hot cookware on these areas.

ATTENTION!

A fan is located on the underside of this hob.

▶ If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob,

do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or

tea towels in it. These objects may be sucked in

and damage the fan or impair the cooling.

▶ There must be a clearance of at least 2cm between

the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat-

ible and can be recycled.

▶

Sort the individual components by type and dispose

of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use

less energy.

Select the cooking zone to match the size of your

pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.

Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-

meter as the hotplate.

Tip:Cookware manufacturers often give the upper

diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the

base diameter.

Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-

ing zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more

energy.

Lift lids as infrequently as possible.

When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

Use a glass lid.

You can see into the pan through a glass lid

without having to lift it.

Use pots and pans with flat bases.

Uneven bases increase energy consumption.

Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.

Large items of cookware containing little food need

more energy to heat up.

Cook with only a little water.

The more water that is contained in the cookware,

the more energy is required to heat it up.

Turn down to a lower power level early on.

If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,

you will waste energy.

Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be

found on the attached appliance pass and online on

the product page for your appliance.

4 Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must

have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by

a magnet. The base must also match the size of the

en Suitable cookware

cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking

zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next

smallest diameter.

4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware

To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the

material of the cookware into consideration. All cook-

ware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.

You can use Cookware test to check whether your

cookware is suitable. You can find more information

about this under

→"Cookware test", Page21.

Cookware Materials Properties

Recommended cook-

ware

Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich

design that distributes the heat well.

This cookware distributes the heat evenly,

heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be

detected easily.

Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled

steel, cast iron or special induction cookware

made of stainless steel.

This cookware heats up quickly and ensures

that it can be detected easily.

Suitable The base is not fully ferromagnetic. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the

base of the cookware, only the area that is

ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat

is not distributed evenly.

Cookware bases with aluminium content. These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which

means that less power is emitted to the

cookware. This cookware may not be suffi-

ciently detected or may not be detected at

all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.

Not suitable Cookware made from normal thin steel,

glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

Notes

¡ Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the

cookware.

¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use

cookware with a thin base, as this may become very

hot.

ing.

¡ After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you

serve the dish.

¡ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the man-

ufacturer's instructions.

¡ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients

will be lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the

optimal cooking time.

¡ Ensure that the oil does not smoke.

¡ To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after

the other.

¡ Some items of cookware may reach high temperat-

ures while the food is cooking. You should therefore

use oven gloves.
