Causes of damage

Scratches on glass ceramic surface: Cookware with
▯
rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface.
Salt, sugar and sand: Salt, sugar or grains of sand will
▯
scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the
cooktop as a working surface or for setting things
down.
Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans
▯
that are empty.
Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on
▯
the control panel or frame. This may cause damage.

Protecting the environment

Energy-saving advice

Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with
▯
an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in
energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and
avoid having to lift the lid.
Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
▯
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
▯
the element. If not, energy may be wasted. Note: The
manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper

Cooking by induction

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking represents a radical change from the
traditional method of heating; the heat is generated
directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of
advantages:
Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is
▯
heated directly.
Energy is saved.
▯
Greater convenience in care and cleaning. Foods that
▯
have spilled on the cooktop surface do not burn as
quickly.
Heat and safety control; the cooktop supplies or cuts
▯
off power immediately when the controls are set. The
induction cooktop stops supplying heat if the pan is
removed without turning off the power first.

Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling
▯
on the cooktop may damage it.
Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing
▯
sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate
spills of these products with a glass scraper.
Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt
▯
on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't
suitable for your cooktop.
Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic
▯
discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from
the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion
from cookware.
diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of
the pan's base.
Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of
▯
food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only
half full will use a lot of energy.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This
▯
saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger
percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
Select a lower power level.

Proper cookware

Ferromagnetic pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction
cooking, these can be made from:
enamelled steel

cast iron
▯
special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking
▯
Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a
magnet to find out if they are suitable.
