▶ Do not place anything, for example, flame tamer or
asbestos mat, between pan and pan support as ser-
ious damage to the appliance may result.
A build-up of heat may damage the controls.
▶ Do not use a large item of cookware on burners that
are close to the control knobs.
If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could
lead to malfunctions.
▶ Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position
when the appliance is not being used.
Handling the cookware roughly may damage the sur-
face of the appliance.
▶ Handle the cookware on the cooktop carefully.
Moving the cookware may scratch the glass.
▶ Lift the cookware when moving it.
Damage may occur if hard or pointed objects fall on
the cooktop.
▶ Do not let hard or pointed objects fall onto the cook-
top.
▶ Do not bump into any of the edges of the cooktop.
Salt, sugar or sand that may fall from the vegetables
will scratch the glass.
▶ Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or stor-
age space.
Melted sugar or food with a high sugar content may
damage the glass.
▶ Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass
scraper.
4 Environmental protection and saving energy
4.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
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.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡
You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡
Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡
The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
¡
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
4.2 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.
