Only pots and pans which are expressly intended for use on ceramictop hob units may be used. Utensils must, as a minimum, cover the entire circle which represents a given burner. The underside, or bottom, of the utensil must form a flat, even surface. Ensure that both contact surfaces - the utensil as well as the hob unit's - are absolutly dry. Utensils with enamelled bottoms cause excessive wear on the decorative pattern of the ceramic surface. Utensils with painted bottoms must not be used, as the paint can be transferred to the ceramic surface, where it will stick permanently, causing a pocked surface. Utensils with aluminium bottoms can cause light spots on the ceramic surface. These can be removed with the cleaning agent supplied with the unit. Cleaning of the ceramic surface The ceramic surface must be cleaned each time that the unit has been in use. [. . . ] The surface may not be used for storage. Do not stare at the heating units when in operation. 11 Mounting Caution: In order to avoid a hazard this appliance must be installed according to these instructions for installation The appliance unit can be mounted in any type of kitchen with a work top whose thickness is between 28 mm and 40 mm.
