Using and caring for the hob

Requirements for safe use

– You have read the chapter "Safety notices"
at the beginning of this user manual.
– The hob is set up, installed and connected
as described in the relevant chapters in this
user manual.
Handling glass ceramic
correctly
Your hob is made of glass ceramic and has
clearly recognisable cooking zones. In order
to ensure that the glass ceramic lasts a long
time and is not damaged, it is essential to
care for and maintain the hob and to use the
correct cookware.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■ If the surface is cracked, switch off
the appliance to avoid the possibili-
ty of electric shock (switch off or un-
screw the fuse). Contact our service
department.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the hob may re-
sult in damage.
■ Do not push heavy cookware across
the hob. The glass ceramic may be-
come scratched.
■ Wipe the hob and the base of the
pots prior to use to wipe away any
dirt which may cause scratches.
Using and caring for the hob
■ Use the hob as a work surface or to
place objects on only once it has com-
pletely cooled off. Otherwise, materi-
als sensitive to heat, such as plastic
dishes, could become damaged.
Special features of inductive
hobs
Operating principle
A coil with an electric current run-
ning through it is located beneath
the glass ceramic surface that gen-
erates a magnetic alternating field.
This alternating field induces eddy currents in
cookware placed on the cooking surface and
thereby heats the cookware. The eddy cur-
rents therefore turn the cookware into a
source of heat itself. Although the surface of
the glass ceramic hob heats up, this is not as
a result of the electric field, but as a result of
the heat that emanates from the pot.
The main advantages of an induction hob as
compared to a conventional glass ceramic
hob are listed below:
– The cooking process is much faster.
– Energy consumption is considerably low-
ered.
– Greater flexibility: Only the section where
the cookware is actually placed heats up.
– Cleaning the hob is made easier because
the glass ceramic is heated only where the
pot makes contact with the hob and there
is less chance of food easily burning.
– Higher safety: As soon as cookware is
removed from the hob, the cooking zone
automatically switches off. The cooking
zone cannot be switched on without any
cookware.
