EN
• Rough bottoms of pots and pans could scratch the glass-ceramic plate. Therefore, always check the cooking utensil.
• A cooking utensil on the switched-on hob must contain liquid or food. The hob is equipped with an internal safety
system to protect against overheating. However, an empty utensil can heat so quickly that the automatic switch-off
system does not manage to react and the utensil may reach very high temperatures. This could damage both the
bottom of the utensil and the glass-ceramic plate. If this happens, do not touch the utensil and switch off the hob. If
the appliance does not heat after cooling down, contact an authorised service centre.
Hot cooking utensil
• Do not put hot pots or pans on the control panel or the frame or edge of the heating plate. Otherwise damage
could occur.
Salt, sugar and sand
• Salt, sugar and grains of sand (coming e.g. from cleaning vegetables) could scratch the heating plate. Do not use
the heating plate as a work area or a side table!
Hard and sharp objects
• If a hard and/or sharp object falls on the heating plate, the plate can be damaged. Do not place such objects
above the heating plate.
Overboiled food
• Sugar, as well as food with high sugar content, damages the heating plate when coming into contact with it.
Immediately remove overboiled food of this kind using a glass scraper.
WARNING! A glass scraper is sharp.
Foils and plastic
• Aluminium foils and plastic utensils melt down, when on a hot hotzone.
• Protective foil for cookers is not suitable for the heating plate.
