Causes of damage Causeof damge NOTICE: ▯ Rough pot and pan bases scratch the cooktop. ▯ Never leave cookware cooking empty. This can cause damage. ▯ Do not place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the displays or the cooktop surround. This can cause damage. Overview You will find the most frequently caused damage in the following table. Damage Stains Cause Boiled-over food. Unsuitable cleaning agent. Scratches Salt, sugar and sand. Discoloration Cookware with rough bases scratch the cooktop. Unsuitable cleaning agent. Blisters Pan abrasion. Sugar, food with a high sugar content. ▯ Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the cooktop. ▯ Aluminum foil and plastic containers can melt and stick on hot burners. The use of oven protective foil on the cooktop is not recommended. Remedy Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass scraper. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of cooktop. Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space. Check the cookware. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of cooktop. Lift pots and pans when moving them. Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass scraper. Protecting the Environment Energy-saving Advice ▯ Place a lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a considerable increase in energy use. 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. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base. ▯ 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. ▯ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted. 9

Causes of damage

Causes

damage

NOTICE:

▯

Rough pot and pan bases scratch the cooktop.

▯

Never leave cookware cooking empty. This can cause

damage.

▯

Do not place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the

displays or the cooktop surround. This can cause

damage.

▯

Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on

the cooktop.

▯

Aluminum foil and plastic containers can melt and

stick on hot burners. The use of oven protective foil on

the cooktop is not recommended.

Overview

You will find the most frequently caused damage in the

following table.

Protecting the Environment

Energy-saving Advice

▯

Place a lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered

pan will result in a considerable increase in energy

use. 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. Note: The manufacturer normally

indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally

greater than the diameter of the pan's base.

▯

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.

▯

Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If

the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
