Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
■
Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate. Doing so
■
may cause damage.
Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator
■
area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.
Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it.

Overview
The following table presents the most common damage
caused:
Measure
Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs.
Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface.
Check pans.
Only use cleaning products specifically produced for glass-ceramic hobs.
Lift pots and pans before moving them around.
Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan
■
bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of the pan base must coincide with the
■
diameter of the hotplate. This generally means the pan base
diameter is greater than that of the hotplate. If the diameter of
the pan is not the same as the diameter of the hotplate, it is
preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in
diameter than the hotplate, otherwise half the energy will be
wasted. Please note: Whether the cookware manufacturer
has indicated the diameter of the top of the pan.
Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are
■
going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a great
amount of energy.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves
■
energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.
Select a lower power level.
