Glass ceramic cooking surface
•
The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
•
Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on the hob, the
hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible immediately or only after
a while.
•
If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately cut off the power supply to the appliance.
•
Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better
conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface.
•
Do not place empty cookware on the cooking zone. The cooking zone may be damaged if you
place an empty pan onto it. Before placing a pan onto the cooking zone, wipe the pan bottom dry
to allow conduction of heat.
Tips regarding your cookware
•
When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached. First, set the
cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker manufacturer's instructions,
use the relevant sensor to decrease the cooking power at the right time.
•
Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or pan. Due to overheating,
using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both the pot and the cooking
zone.
•
When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Energy saving tips
•
When purchasing cookware, note that the diameter indicated on the pan usually pertains to the
upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the pan bottom.
•
If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker. Make sure there is always sufficient
liquid in the pressure cooker. If an empty cooker is placed on the cooking hob, it may overheat
which in turn may lead to damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
•
Whenever possible, close the pot or pan with a suitably sized lid. Use cookware that fits the amount
of food you are cooking. Cooking in a large partly full pot will consume much more energy.

•
Use quality cookware with flat and stable
bottom.
•
Pan bottom and cooking zone diameters
should be the same.
•
Tempered glass cookware with special
ground bottom may be used on the cooking
zones if its diameter fits that of the cooking
zones. Cookware with larger diameter may
crack due to thermal tension.
•
Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle
of the cooking zone.
