You protect yourself and avoid damage of your appliance. [. . . ] The warning lamp lights up when the surface of the corresponding cooking zone reaches a temperature which could cause burning. This lamp remains lit after the heated-up area has been switched off as long as the residual heat of the corresponding cooking surface can cause burnings. The light will only extinguish when there is no more danger (temperature below 50°C). The remaining heat should be used to get food readycooked or keep food warm. Cooking Equipment Specially tested cooking and frying pans for ceramic hobs exist. 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. 14 Maintenance The maintenance remains the same for glass and ceramic hobs. Never use aggressive detergents or scouring powder and sponges with abrasive surfaces. Cleaning after each use Slight, not burnt soiling has to be wiped off with a damp cloth without using detergents. The use of detergents may lead to discolouring. These heavy stains can not be wiped off easily by the first attempt and sometimes not even with a special detergent. Burnt soiling has to be removed with a scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth. Stain removal Light metallic stains (aluminium remains) can be removed from the cooled down cooking zone with a special detergent. Calcareous deposits (caused by overboiling water) can be removed with vinegar or a special detergent. Removal of sugar, sugar-containing food, plastic objects or kitchen foil The cooking zone involved must not be turned off!The remains have to be scraped off the hot cooking zone immediately with a scraper. The cooking zone can be switched off after the removal of the soiling. It may be cleaned with a special detergent after it has cooled down.
