Pay special attention to the chapter "Hints on safety". Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference and pass them on to any subsequent owner of the appliance. The warning triangle and/or specific words (warning, caution, important) are used to highlight information that is important for your safety or the functioning of the appliance. [. . . ] Manufacturers often state the upper diameter of the edge of a dish. If you are using special cooking utensils like pressure cookers or a WOK, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer. Ensure they are recommended for use on ceramic hobs. D D 8 8 8 D 8 D D D 8 8 8 D General hints D D The bases should always be clean and dry. To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic glass surface, pots and pans should be moved on the hob by lifting them, and not by sliding. Scratches can also be caused by grains of sand (e. g. originating from the previous washing of vegetables), drawn over the cooking surface with the pan, or by burrs and the rims of pan bases. Use high sided pans for dishes with a lot of liquid, so that nothing boils over. D D Energy consumption To save energy, you should: D D place pots and pans in position before switching on the cooking zone. use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bases. 8 D D D D wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid. never place pots or pans on cooking zones with a higher diameter. because of wet or dirty cooking zones and pots energy will be wasted. switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the residual heat. When using pressure cookers you can reduce the cooking time by up to 50%. As well as saving energy, more vitamins and minerals are retained in the food. 8 8 D 8 8 Chart:: Boiling and frying The setting position required for cooking processes is dependent on the quality of the pots and on the type and amount of the food.

Symptom Possible Solution J J J z z z z The cooking zones do not functionn After switching off a cooking zone the hob hot indicator is not illuminated A buzzing is heard when a cooking zone is switched on Discolorations appear in the cooking zone Check the mains fuse has not failed Check a power level has been selected The cooking zone may have only been switched on for a short while, and is therefore below 60 oC This is not a fault, the buzzing will disappear as the zone heats up This is probably a result of burned on remnants that have not been removed regularly. They will not affect the function of the hob. J J If after carrying out the above checks your appliance is still faulty, disconnect from the mains supply and contact your local Service Force Centre. [. . . ] The mains connection must be carried out in a way that an all--pole insulating device is existing with a contact opening of at least 3 mm, e. g.
