3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.
Cause
Unsupervised cooking process.
Spilled food, especially food with a high
sugar content.
Defective cookware, cookware with melted
enamel or cookware with copper or alu-
minium base.
Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-
cessories or other hard or pointed objects.
Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-
ware on the hob.
Salt, sugar or sand.
Cooking with frozen cookware.
Cooking without contents.
Melted material on the hot cooking zone or
hot pot lid on the glass.
Hot cookware on the control panel or on the
frame.
An appliance with a cracked or broken sur-
face can cause cuts.
▶ Do not use the appliance if it has a cracked
or broken surface.
Action
Monitor the cooking process.
Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Use suitable cookware that is in a good con-
dition.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for
glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when
it is cold.
When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-
jects fall onto the hob.
Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when
moving it.
Do not use the hob as a work surface or
storage space.
Never use frozen cookware.
Never place or heat empty cookware on a
hot cooking zone.
Do not place greaseproof paper or alu-
minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids
on the hob.
Never place hot cookware on these areas.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your
pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡ Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
