Information and practical tips Environmental information 1. These numbers indicate step by step how to use the appliance. [. . . ] Information on disposal · The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish. · You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse disposal sites from your local refuse department or council. Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove the mains lead. 27 The Key Features of Your Appliance · Glass ceramic cooking surface: The appliance has a glass ceramic cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The particularly powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the amount of time taken for the zones to heat up. · Cleaning: The advantage of the glass ceramic cooking surface is its easy cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see section: "Cleaning and care"). · Double-ring cooking zone: The cooking surface possesses a double-ring cooking zone. This provides the appliance with a cooking zone with a variable size, for instance for smaller pots. · Frying zone: The hob has a special frying zone. This can be set to either the round or the oval shape, for example when using a fryer. · Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the glass ceramic surface, which is very difficult or impossible to remove. · Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across the surface. · When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex). · If you wish to use special types of pan (e. g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc. ), please observe the manufacturer's instructions. 2 Energy saving tips You can save valuable energy by observing the following points: · Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone. · Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power consumption. · Whenever possible always position the lids firmly on pots and pans to cover completely. · Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat such as to keep foods warm or for melting. · The base of the pan should be the same size as the cooking zone.
