Energy-saving tips
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking
■
without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass
lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid.
Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase
■
energy consumption.

■
may cause electric shocks. Switch off the
circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the
after-sales service.
Risk of injury!
Saucepans may suddenly jump due to
liquid between the pan base and the
hotplate. Always keep the hotplate and
saucepan bases dry.
Causes of damage
Caution!
Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
■
Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
■
Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the
■
display area or the surround. This may cause damage.
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
■
Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
■
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
Overview
The following table provides an overview of the most frequent
kinds of damage:
Action
Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Check your cookware.
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size
■
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate
cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers
often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is
usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full
■
saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins
■
and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible
■
with your saucepan.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■
Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste
■
energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too
high.
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
■
you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end
of the cooking time.
