Pots and pans Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware, the better the performance. The cooking surface The ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface. Certain items, particularly sugar grains or crystallized liquids such as molasses or syrups are harder than ceramic and can scratch the surface if they are not cleaned off immediately. Small or light scratches will not affect the safety or performance of the cooktop. The burner rings and touch controls are fused into the ceramic glass and are resistant to wear if properly maintained. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings. ­ For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots/pans should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible. ­ Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. If you touch the $ Child Safety Lock control or select a setting, the indicator will come on again to show that the Child Safety Lock has been activated. To deactivate the Child Safety Lock ^ Press and hold the $ Child Safety Lock control until the indicator goes out. In the case of a power failure the Child Safety Lock will be deactivated. 22 Safety features Safety cut-out feature The cooktop is on too long The cooktop has a safety cut-out feature in case it is not turned off after use.

This limiter turns off the heating elements in the burner before the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature the heating elements will automatically turn back on. The overheating protection may be activated by: ­ turning on a burner without putting a pan on it. [. . . ] See "Sealing". Safety distances above the appliance As a general rule there must be a safety distance of at least 30" (760 mm) between the appliance and any objects above it, e. g. If the manufacturer of these items states a different figure, always adhere to the greater distance. Their measurements should be given in their operating and installation instructions. wok burner and electric cooktop, and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance. 33 Installation Cooktops flush with the countertop Frame/Facet cooktops a Wall b Wall covering c Back splash strip d Countertop e Countertop cut-out f 2" (50 mm) minimum distance 34 Installation Installation dimensions a Spring clips b Installation height c Installation height power supply line d Front e Flexible stainless steel hose Length = 3' 11" (1200mm) 35 Installation Cut out ^ Make the countertop cut-out following the dimensions given in the illustration.
