5. Operating the cooking hob

Turn on the cooking zone using the knobs installed on the control panel.

The symbol next to each knob indicates which cooking zone is operated by it.

The following table lists some examples for using individual power levels.

After each use, wait for the glass ceramic surface to cool down and clean it. Otherwise, all remaining impurities will burn onto the hot surface the next time you use the hob.

For regular maintenance of the glass ceramic hob, use special care products that create a protective film on the surface to prevent the dirt from sticking onto it.

Before each use of the glass ceramic surface, wipe off the dust or any other impurities that could scratch the surface, from both the hob and the pan bottom.

Signage may be worn when using aggressive or abrasive cleaners or cookware with coarse or damaged bottom.

Use a damp soft cloth to remove minor impurities. Then, wipe the surface dry.

Remove water stains with a mild solution of vinegar. However, do not use this solution to wipe the frame (only with some models) as it may lose its sheen. Do not use aggressive spray cleaners or descaling agents.

Use special glass ceramic cleaners for stubborn dirt. Observe the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to thoroughly remove any cleaner residues after the cleaning process as they may damage the glass ceramic surface when the cooking zones heat up.

Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper. Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent injury.

Immediately remove any sugar or sugar-laden food from the glass ceramic hob using a scraper, even if the hob is still hot, as sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic surface.
