11Tips on cooking and frying
Tips on cooking and frying
3Information about acrylamides
According to the latest scientific research, intensive browning of food, especially
in products containing starch, may present a health risk due to acrylamide.
Therefore we recommend cooking at low temperatures and not browning foods
too much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom
should be as thick and flat as possible.
•Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can
leave discolourations on the ceramic glass surface which are difficult or im-
possible to remove.
Energy saving
2Always place cookware on the cooking
zone before it is switched on.
2If possible, always place lids on the pans.
2Switch cooking zones off before the end of
the cooking time, to take advantage of re-
sidual heat.
2Bottom of pans and cooking zones should
be the same size.

The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are
to be followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regu-
lations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed.
Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers
may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance.
The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a
suitable sealant.
The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap.
Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot
cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.
zRisk of injury from electrical current.
•The electrical mains terminal is live.
•Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
•Follow connection schematic.
•Observe electrical safety rules.
•Ensure anti-shock protection by installing correctly.
•The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified elec-
trician.
zRisk of injury from electrical current.
•Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal
overheat.
•Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.
•Use strain relief clamp on cable.
•In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropriate mains
cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C (or higher) must be used.
•If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special ca-
ble (type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C; or higher). Please contact your local Service

Sticking on the seal
•Clean the worktop in the area of the cut-out section.
•Stick the one-sided self-adhesive sealing tape supplied all the way round the
lower edge of the cooking surface along the outer edge of the glass ceramic
panel. Do not stretch it. The cut ends should lie in the middle of one side.
When you have cut it to length (add a few mm), press the two ends flush up
against one another.
