Cooking areas - Use
Note:
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hobs with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges. These
could scratch or scour the hob sur-
face permanently.
Place a saucepan on the cooking
area before switching on the ap-
pliance 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 sand-
like grains are on the hob when cook-
ing is to begin.
If such grains should find their way
under the saucepan when it is
pushed across the hob, the grains
could cause scratches on the sur-
face.
Do not push enamelled baking
sheets, frying pans and saucepans
to and fro across the ceramic sur-
face.
Otherwise scratches may occur.

When using aluminium or stainless
steel utensils, the metal can affect
the ceramic surface by leaving
mother-of-pearl coloured flecks be-
hind.
These marks can be removed most
easily if they are treated immediately
they appear with a special proprie-
tary cleaning agent (see chapter
"Cleaning and Care").
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or alumi-
nium foil to get onto the ceramic hob
unit when it is hot.
If this should occur do not switch the
appliance off. Scrape all the sugar,
plastic or aluminium remains from
the hob with a sharp blade taking
care not to burn yourself.
If this is allowed to cool before the hob
has been cleaned, the ceramic sur-
face will be susceptible to pitting or
even cracking.
