EJ PREPARATION
Tips for saving energy
The following tips will help you to use
your appliance
in an ecological way and
to save energy:
• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking
them.
• Use pots/pans with cover for
cooking.
If there is no cover, energy
consumption may increase 4 times.
• Select the burner which is suitable for
the bottom size
of the pot to be used.
Always select the correct pot size for
your dishes. Larger pots require more
energy.
• Pay attention to use flat bottom pots
when cooking with electric hobs.
Pots with thick bottom will provide a
better heat conduction.
You can
obtain energy savings up to 1/3.
• Vessels and pots must be compatible
with the cooking zones. Bottom
of the vessels or pots must not be
smaller than the hotplate.
• Keep the cooking zones and bottom
of the pots clean. Dirt will decrease
the heat conduction between the
cooking zone and bottom
of the pot.
• For long cookings, turn off the
cooking zone 5 or 10 minutes before
the end
of cooking time. You can
obtain energy savings up to 20% by
using the residual heat.

overheated oil!
When you heat oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish the fire
with water! When
oil has caught fire,
immediately cover the pot or pan with a
lid. Switch off the burner/plate if safe to
do so and phone the fire service.
Only use flat bottomed pots or pans.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use pans which have sufficient
capacity for the amount of food being
cooked so they don't boil over and
cause unnecessary cleaning.
Do not place lids on the burners.
Always position pans centrally over
the burners. When transferring pans
from one burner to another always lift
the pans do not slide them.
This appliance
is equipped with one
or more surface units
of different
size. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner will
also improve efficiency.
Never leave surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
Make sure reflector pans
or drip
bowls are in place. Absence of
these pans or bowls during cooking
may subject wiring or components

The glass ceramic surface is heat-
resistant and insensitive to large
temperature deviations.
Do not use the glass ceramic burner/
plate for keeping objects or as cutting
surface.
Do not cook popcorn
in prepackaged
aluminum containers on the cooktop.
They could leave aluminum marks
that cannot be removed completely.
Use pot and pans with ground
bottoms. Sharp edges cause
scratches on the surface.
Do not use aluminium pots and
pans. Aluminium damages the glass
ceramic surface.
Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic earthenware or
other glazed utensils are suitable for
range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change
in
temperature.
Do not cook foods directly on the
cook-top.
For foods containing sugar
in any
form, clean up
all spills and soils as
soon as possible. Allow the cook-top
to cool down slightly. Then, while
wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface
is still warm. If sug-
ary spills are allowed to cool down,
they can adhere to the cook-top and
can cause pitting and permanent
marks.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burn. Some
