[. . . ] When switched on, each cooking zone can be switched off again at any time. To do this, the required cooking zone must be activated; the cooking zone stand-by dot lights up. The minus key can be used to turn the cooking level down to "0"; if the minus and plus keys + are pressed at the same time, the cooking zone can be switched off directly. In all cases the complete control system can be switched off at any time by pressing the on/off key . [. . . ] Things to watch out for Use only pots and pans with bottoms that are firm, even and as thick as possible. This applies particularly to cooking with high temperatures, e. Uneven bottoms extend cooking times and increase energy consumption. The best transmission result is obtained when the pots and the cooking zone are of equal dimension. Energy is wasted if you cook without a lid placed correctly on the pan. In order to work directly on the cooking zones, you can use cooking utensils made from fireproof glass or porcelain if their bottoms are flat polished. Clean the hob before using it for the first time. Afterwards, switch on the elements to the highest level one after the other, without pots, for three minutes in order to eliminate any odours due to newness and so that any moisture that may still be in the heating element may evaporate. This is necessary so that the electronic circuits function properly. Attention: The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use. Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface. Leave it to take effect, then wipe off completely with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly. Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when the hob is reheated. Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper +. A glass scraper can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY shops or from our Customer service. If you buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as this will stick to the hot surface. Food that contains sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be immediately removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot , , . These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not removed and which have burnt in. is caused by wear from pan bottoms or Metallic iridescent discolouring unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great difficulty with "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel" or "Stahlfix". You may have to clean several times to remove the discolouring.
