Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. A lot of energy is
lost when flames burn around the outside of the pan. The handles will
also become too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter smaller
than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not be stable.
• When frying, stir-frying, cooking through large quantities, or deep-
frying, it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.
• Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for
cooking food right through.
• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
• Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand
stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively
to the food.
Wok burner
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature.
For this purpose it is important:
• to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking.
• to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut
oil when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine
on the other hand will burn because of the high heat.
• place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first, so that
at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente at
the same time.
Warning!
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before carrying out
any repairs or cleaning. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch off the
fuses, or set the switch in the meter cupboard to zero.
Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure steam cleaners to
clean the appliance.
Cleaning the oven
Front of the unit
Clean the surface with a liquid, non-abrasive cleaner for smooth surfaces
and a soft cloth. Apply the cleaning product to the cloth and wipe away
the dirt; then rinse with water. Do not apply the cleaning product directly
onto the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents, sharp objects
or steel wool, as this can cause scratches on the unit.
Aluminium surfaces
Aluminium surfaces should be cleaned with non-abrasive, liquid cleaning
products designed for such materials. Apply the cleaning product to a
damp cloth and wipe the surface clean; then rinse the surface with water.
Do not apply the cleaning product directly onto the aluminium surface.
Do not use abrasive detergents or scourers. The surface must not come
into contact with oven sprays.
Stainless steel front panels
Clean the surface with a mild detergent (soapsuds) and a soft sponge
that does not scratch the surface. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based
detergents. If you do not follow these instructions the casing may
become damaged.
Varnished and plastic surfaces
Clean the knobs/buttons and door handle with a soft cloth and liquid
cleaning agent suitable for cleaning smooth, varnished surfaces. You
can also use cleaning agents specifically designed for this type of
surface. In this case, follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
