Hob
Daily use
Using the hob
You operate the appliance with the combina-
tion appliance’s ring switches. To switch on the
cooking zone and set the power turn the con-
trol knob between 1 and 9.
To switch off the cooking zone turn the control
knob to position 0.
When a cooking zone is switched on, it
may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of
all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not
impair either the function or the life of the ap-
pliance.
Helpful hints and tips
Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the latest scientific
knowledge, intensive browning of food,
especially in products containing starch, can
constitute a health risk due to acrylamides.
Therefore, we recommend cooking at the
lowest possible temperatures and not
browning foods too much.
Energy saving
If possible, always place lids on the pans.
Place cookware on the cooking zone before
you switch it on.
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick
and flat as possible.
• Switch cooking zones off before the end of
the cooking time, to take advantage of re-
sidual heat
• Bottom of pans and cooking zones should
be the same size.
Care and cleaning
Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive
cleaning agents will damage the
appliance. Clean the appliance and remove
the residues with water and washing up liquid
after each use. Remove also the remnants of
the cleaning agents!
Cleaning the ceramic hob
Scratches or dark stains on the glass ce-
ramic that cannot be removed do not af-
fect the functioning of the appliance.
Removing the residues and stubborn
residues:
1. Food containing sugar, plastics, tin foil res-
idues should be removed at once using a
scraper. Place a scraper on the glass ce-
ramic surface at an angle and remove res-
idues by sliding the blade over the surface.
Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and
a little washing up liquid. Finally, rub the
appliance dry using a clean cloth.
The scraper is available in the Service
Centre or in the authorized spare parts
shops.
2. Limescale rings, water rings, fat splashes,
shiny metallic discolorations should be re-
moved after the appliance has cooled
down using cleaner for glass ceramic or
stainless steel.
