Causes of damage NOTICES ▯ Scratches on glass ceramic surface: Cookware with rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface. ▯ Salt, sugar and sand: Salt, sugar or grains of sand will scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the cooktop as a working surface or for setting things down. ▯ Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty. ▯ Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on the control panel or frame. This may cause damage. ▯ Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling on the cooktop may damage it. ▯ Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these products with a glass scraper. ▯ Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't suitable for your cooktop. ▯ Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware. Protecting the Environment Energy-saving advice ▯ Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will increase energy consumption considerably. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid. ▯ Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption. ▯ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy may be wasted. ▯ Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy. ▯ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals. ▯ Switch to a lower heat setting in time. ▯ Select a suitable setting for ongoing cooking. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high. ▯ Use the residual heat of the cooktop. For longer cooking times, you can switch the element off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. 8
