]Causes of damage
Caus es of damage Hob
Caution!
■Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
■Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate.
Doing so may cause damage.
■Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the
indicator area, or the hob frame. Doing so may
cause damage.
■Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may
damage it.
■Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if
placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of
laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.
Overview
You will find the most frequently caused damage in the
following table:
Damage to the oven
Caution!
■Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on
the cooking compartment floor: do not place
accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do
not cover the cooking compartment floor with any
sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place
ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will
cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting
times will no longer be correct and the enamel will
be damaged.
■Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking
compartment must not come into contact with the
door glass. This could cause permanent
discolouration of the door glass.
■Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour
water into the cooking compartment when it is hot.
This will cause steam. The temperature change can
cause damage to the enamel.
■Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: Following
operation at high temperatures, only allow the
cooking compartment to cool down with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst
the oven was operating.
■Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies,
do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit
juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that
cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper
universal pan.
■Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never
operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or
missing. ~"Cleaning" on page 32
■Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not
sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything
on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on
the appliance door.
■Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
model, accessories can scratch the door panel
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment as far as
they will go.
■Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.
■Grilling: do not insert the baking tray or universal pan
higher than level 3 when grilling. The high heat
distorts it and the enamel may be damaged when it
is removed. At level 4 and 5, only grill directly on the
wire rack.
Damage to the plinth drawer
Caution!
Do not place hot objects in the plinth drawer. It could be
damaged.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Boiled over food. Remove boiled over food immediately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agent. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of hob.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Cookware with rough bases scratch the hob. Check the cookware.
Discolouration Unsuitable cleaning agent. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of hob.
Pan abrasion. Lift pots and pans when moving them.
Chips Sugar, food with a high sugar content. Remove boiled over food immediately with a glass scraper.

7Environmental protection
Envi r onment al pr ot ec t i on Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient.
Here you can find tips on how to save even more
energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose
of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
■Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
■Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the
cooking compartment.
■Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black
or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat
particularly well.
■Remove any unnecessary accessories from the
cooking compartment.
■Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
when the appliance is in use.
■It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
The cooking compartment stays warm. This reduces
the baking time for the second cake. You can place
two cake tins next to each other in the cooking
compartment.
■For longer cooking times, you can switch the
appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time and use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
Energy-saving advice
■Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid
to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
■Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use
a lot more energy.
■The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually
provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is
usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
■Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
■Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and
preserves all the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
■Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
fInduction cooking
Inducti on cooki ng Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
■Saves time when boiling and frying.
■Saves energy.
■Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
■Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the
heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
■Cookware made from enamelled steel
■Cookware made from cast iron
■Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section on
~"Cookware check".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of
the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
■If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will
heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
■The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment -
WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and
pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly
through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-
layer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size,
the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will
flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the
flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass
on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and
switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.
