Operating the cooktop
35
How the burners work
Each burner has overheat protection,
which prevents the overheating of the
ceramic top (see “Overheat
protection”).
Standard burners have one heating
band, variable burners have two heating
bands.
If a power level is set, the heating turns
on and the heating band is visible
through the ceramic top. The heat
output of the burners depends on the
power level set and is controlled
electronically. This causes the “cycling”
of a burner: the heating is turned on
and off.
The most suitable cookware is metal
pots and pans with thick bottoms that,
when cold, bulge inwards slightly. On
warming, the bottom extends and sits
level on the cooking zone; this
conducts the heat optimally.
Cold Hot
Glass, ceramic or stoneware is less
suitable. These materials do not
conduct the heat well.
Pots and pans made of synthetic
material or aluminum are not suitable.
These melt at high temperatures,
Cookware of aluminum or with an
aluminum base can cause shiny
metallic spots. These spots can be
removed with ceramic glass or stainless
steel cleaner (see “Cleaning and Care”).
The composition of the pan bottom can
affect the evenness of the cooking
results (e.g., when making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
base diameter (see chapter “Cooking
zone data”).
– Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
– Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching.
