Cookware

Suitable cookware

Cookware should have a stable bottom. When heated, the base of the cook-

ware must lie flat on the surface of the cooking zone.

Cookware made of metal is more suitable than that made of glass or ceramic

as with metal the heat is distributed evenly quicker.

Cookware bases made of aluminium or aluminium alloys can leave stubborn

marks on the glass ceramic surface that are very difficult to remove.

Energy-efficient cooking

For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:

▪ The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.

▪ Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.

▪ Use a well-fitting lid.

▪ Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.

Applies to GK43O, GK43FO, GK43UO

Hobs with OptiGlass have an additional coating on the glass surface.

This coating makes the surface harder, tougher and more scratch resistant

than non-coated glass surfaces.

Under normal circumstances, significantly fewer scratches should oc-

cur on the glass surface during cooking. However, even a sharp grain

of sand or particle of grit, for example, under a pan can cause

scratches.

Illumination

▸ Halogen or LED light bulbs are recommended for illuminating hobs with the

OptiGlass coating.

The use of fluorescent tube lighting to illuminate hobs with the Opti-

Glass coating causes the glass surface to shimmer.
