To Avoid damaging your appliance
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans
are empty.
• Glass ceramic is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust;
however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects
that fall on the cooking surface can damage it.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to
the paint may occur.
• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling
agents, are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot
cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately
with a scraper while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be dam-
aged when it is removed.
• Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the ceramic
glass surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If some-
thing of this nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it
must also be removed immediately using the scraper.
