[. . . ] Pay attention to the declaration of the manufacturer. Cooking pans with aluminium or copper bottoms can cause metallic discolouration that can not removed anymore. Be especially careful in using enamel pans. Avoid the heating-up of empty pans since their base could be damaged in a way which can cause scratches when removed on the hob's surface. The following advice should be considered to achieve an optimal energy consumption as well as to avoid that overboiling food can be burnt onto the cooking zones. Bottom of pans: Cooking and frying pans should have a flat and solid base. A base with rough edges can scratch and leave abrasion marks on the ceramic surface!Size of pans: Pan or pot diameters should correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone. Lid of pans: A lid prevents heat to escape, shortens the heating-up time and reduces the energy consumption. Note: Prevent little children from touching the cook top when in use. Children also can burn themselves by pulling pans or pots off the hob. The cooking zones heat up quickly when they are turned on. Turn them on only when you have placed a saucepan onto the cooking area. Be careful by using the hob as a working-table or when depositing items on the hob's surface. The items you place on the hob could easily catch fire when turning on the hob accidentally. Afterwards the hob should be cleaned thoroughly. Sugar (solid or liquid) as well as plastic should never get onto the hot surface of the hob. Also, never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes. They melt at high temperatures and can cause fissures and cracks when the hob cools down. Spills of sugar or melted plastic material must be removed while the hob is still warm and before the remains have set. [. . . ] If any fissures or cracks appear on the hob's surface the hob has to be switched off immediately. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and inform the service department. Repairs on electrical appliances must be undertaken by qualified electricians only. Improper repairs can cause serious harm and danger for users. [. . . ]
