Operation
Note:
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic cooktops having bases
with pronounced edges or ridges.
These could permanently scratch
the cooktop surface.
Place a saucepan on the cooking
area before turning on the appliance
to save energy.
The ceramic surface and the base of
the saucepan should be clean and
dry.
This saves unnecessary cleaning
after cooking and protects the cook-
ing area.
Care should be taken that no gra-
nules (e. g. salt, sugar, etc.) are on
the cooktop when cooking.
If such granules should find their
way under a saucepan when it is
pushed across the cooktop, the
granules could scratch the surface.
Do not push enamelled baking
sheets, frying pans or saucepans
across the ceramic surface.
Scratches may occur.
When using aluminum or stainless
steel utensils, the metal can affect
the ceramic surface by leaving white
colored spots behind.
These spots can be removed most
easily if they are treated immediately
with a ceramic cooktop cleaner (see
chapter on “Cleaning and Care”).
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or
pieces of plastic or aluminum foil
onto the ceramic cooktop unit when
it is hot.
If this should occur do not turn the
appliance off. Scrape the remains
from the cooktop with a razor blade,
taking care not to burn yourself.
If it is allowed to cool before the
cooktop has been cleaned, the ce-
ramic surface will be susceptible to
pitting or cracking.
