Damage protection
Never place hot pots or pans over
the touch controls, this may
damage the electronics.
Do not drop anything on the
ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Even lightweight objects may cause
damage.
Do not use pots or pans with
pronounced edges or ridges on
the ceramic cooktop. These could
scratch the cooktop permanently. See
"Selecting cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
cause scratches. Make sure that the
bases of any pots and pans are clean,
free of any fat or oils and are dry.
To prevent damage to the cooktop
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on the cooktop. Never heat an
empty pan unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so.
Before using glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other
glazed cookware verify that they can be
used on a cooking surface.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall
on the burners when they are hot. If
these residues are allowed to cool on
the ceramic surface pitting or even
cracking may occur.
Any spills should be removed as
quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult
to remove.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
