5. POWERING OFF
Press the Power On/Off button to turn the unit off/stop generating heat.
*** Once the unit is powered off, the Residual Heat Indicator Light (an Hfor Hot) will replace the number in the Power
Level Indicator display, warning you that the cooking surface is still hot, until the surface has cooled down below 160°.
It also makes you aware of the possibility of making use of the remaining residual heat.
*** If the appliance is unplugged from the power outlet, this H(for Hot) indication will not appear, even though the
surface is still hot.
6. POT/PAN SELECTION
Only use pots or pans with a perfect, even bottom and an appropriate diameter. If the pot bottom is uneven or too small,
energy will be wasted. Do not use cooking containers consisting of synthetic material, inferior enamel, china, or
aluminum foil in any form. If an aluminum pot or pan is used, it must not be allowed to boil dry, or the pan will warp or
melt and the range cooking surface will be permanently damaged. Always use a pot, pan, or casserole dish for its
intended purpose. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooktop use without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
7. IMPORTANT NOTES
•Always keep the cooking surface and the pot bottom clean and dry. Rough-bottomed cookware can scratch the
range’s heating surface.
•Do not place food directly on the cooking surface. Always use cookware.
•Do not leave any food in aluminium foil on the cooking surface, nor cutlery, pot lids or other objects made of metal
as those might become hot.
•Cover cookware while in use whenever possible to avoid spatters on cooktop.
•Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects. Protect the glass plate against breakage by
falling objects.
•During use the surfaces will get hot. Please use caution when handling the appliance to avoid the risk of getting
burned! Keep the power cord away from the cooking plate, as well as the power cords of other adjacent electrical
appliances.
•In case of signs of damage to the appliance, the power cord or the sealing, or if the glass plate is broken,
immediately unplug the appliance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet, and allow the glass surface to cool
before cleaning*.
•Clean your CERAN® cooking surface regularly, preferably after each time you use it.
•*Important: If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, etc.), a plastic item or kitchen
foil accidentally melts on the hot glass surface of your range, do not wait for the glass surface to cool. Remove the
molten material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of
damage to the CERAN® surface. For your safety please wear a mitt potholder while cleaning the hot cooking surface
•The longer you cook with a spill or food residue on the cooking surface, the harder it will be to remove. Some cleaners
will produce harmful fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet sponges or cloths used to wipe spills from a hot
cooking surface can cause steam burns.
•Remove any burnt-on deposits or spilled food from your CERAN® cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper
(similar to scraping paint off your windowpanes in your home). Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to the
cooktop. For your safety, please wear a mitt potholder while using the metal scraper.
•Then, clean the cold glass surface. Normal food residues can be removed with a soft, damp cloth or untreated nylon
mesh pad and some mild dishwashing liquid or baking soda. Scrub gently, rinse with a damp cloth, and wipe dry with
a clean cloth or clean, dry paper towel. OR, when the cooking surface has cooled down, apply a few dabs (about the
size of a dime) of an approved cleaner on the burner area and work the cleaning crème over the cooktop surface with
a damp paper towel as if you were cleaning a window. The following cleaners are approved for CERAN® cooking
surfaces: Weiman® Cook Top® Cleaning Cream, Golden Ventures Cerama Bryte, Whirlpool Cooktop Cleaner. As a
final step, clean with clear water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry paper towel. (Do not use cleaners
made for white cooktops; they will damage your unit.)
•DO NOT SUBMERGE THE RANGE INSERT IN WATER OR LET THE PLUG COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER
OR OTHER LIQUID! Make sure that no liquids or steam seep into the underside of the range housing.Use no steam
jet cleaning appliances. Make sure no water or steam may infiltrate the appliance from below either.
