[. . . ] The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective grounding system. If there is any doubt, the electrical system of the house should be checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective grounding system. When using an electrical outlet near the cooktop, make sure that the cable of the appliance does not come into contact with the burners.

Residual heat indicator Each cooking area has a residual heat indicator. When a cooking area is turned on, its residual heat indicator lights up. It only goes out after the cooking area has been turned off and the cooking surface has reached a temperature safe to the touch. Temperature limiter All cooking areas are equipped with a temperature limiter, which turns the heating element off if the temperature under the ceramic surface gets too high. The temperature limiter turns the heating element on again after the temperature has returned to a safe level. The temperature limiter may also be activated when the utensils are suitable. The reason for this could be light colored saucepan bases (heat reflection) or poor transfer of heat from the saucepan base to the food. Important note While the cooking areas are heating up, a "humming" noise may be noticed. As the cooking areas heat up, the humming noise will diminish and finally will cease altogether. For halogen cooking areas only: The radiant elements work together with the halogen lamps. This gives a quicker heat transfer to the pan base, resulting in a shorter heating-up period. 11 Operation Operation Saucepans The following notes are designed to enable you to . Pots and pans are available which have been specially tested for use on glass ceramic cooktops. Saucepan bases Saucepan size The diameter of the saucepan should be a little larger than that of the cooking area. Saucepan lids So that optimum energy consumption is achieved during cooking, only saucepans with bases as flat as possible, or very slightly concave, should be used. When the saucepan is hot, the base should rest evenly on the ceramic surface. Do not use pots or pans having bases with pronounced edges or ridges as these could permanently scratch the cooktop surface. A lid on the saucepan will prevent heat from being lost, and decrease the cooking time. 12 Operation Operation Note: Do not use any pots or pans on the ceramic cooktops having bases with pronounced edges or ridges. Light marks with a metallic sheen Aluminum deposits on the cooktop surface can be removed once the cooktop has cooled down by using a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Lime deposits caused by water boiling over, can be removed with vinegar or a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Removal of sugar, syrups, plastic or aluminum foil Do not turn off the cooking area!
