General information about cooking
• DANGER: Risk of fire over by
overheated oil! When you heat oil, do not
leave it unattended.
• WARNING: 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
heating element 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 underneath to damage.

Tips for glass ceramic plate
• The glass ceramic surface is heat- resistant
and insensitive to large temperature
deviations.
• Do not use the glass ceramic plate for
keeping objects or as cutting surface.
• WARNING: Do not cook popcorn in
prepackaged aluminum containers on the
cook top. They could leave aluminum
marks that cannot be removed completely.
• Use pot and pans with ground bottoms.
Sharp edges cause scratches on the sur-
face.
• Do not use aluminum pots and pans.
Aluminum damages the glass ceramic
surface.
• WARNING: Glazed cooking utensils -
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.
• WARNING: Use pot and pans with
ground bottoms. Sharp edges cause
scratches on the surface.
• WARNING: Avoid scratching the glass
cook top. The cook top can be scratched
with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry and
rivets on clothing.
• WARNING: If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Utensil handles
should be turned inward and not extend
