Causes of damage
Saucepan and pan bases
Rough saucepan bases can scratch the glass ceramic.
Check your cookware.
Avoid boiling the pan dry, especially with enamel pans.
This damages both the pan base and the glass ceramic
surface.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions when using
special cookware.
Hot pans and saucepans
Never place hot pans or saucepans on the touch key
panel, the display area or the frame. This could cause
damage.
Salt, sugar and sand
Salt, sugar and sand can scratch the glass ceramic
surface. Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or
storage area.
Sugar and foods with a high sugar content can damage
the cooktop. Remove food spills immediately with a glass
scraper.
Caution: The glass scraper has a sharp blade.
Hard and pointed objects
Hard or pointed objects can damage the cooktop if they
fall on the surface.
Do not store such objects over the cooktop.
Examples of possible damage
The following types of damage have no effect on either
the function or the integrity of the ceramic glass top.
