What cookware is compatible with the induction cooktop, and what should be avoided?
Only cookware suitable for induction cooking should be used on the induction cooktop zones. Cookware with rough bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic surface, and using pans or pots that are empty should be avoided. Additionally, salt, sugar, and grains of sand will scratch the glass ceramic surface, so the cooktop should never be used as a working surface or for setting things down. (Page 9, 15)
What is the automatic time limitation feature on the cooktop?
The automatic time limitation function is triggered if an element is used for prolonged periods without any changes to the settings being made. When activated, the element stops heating and ‰ along with the residual heat indicator flash alternately in the display. Pressing any symbol clears the indicator and allows the element to be reset; the time before activation depends on the selected heat level and ranges from 1 to 10 hours. (Page 21, 30)
Should I use aluminum foil or oven liners on the cooktop or inside the oven?
You should never use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom, as this may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Aluminum foil in the cooking compartment must not come into contact with the door glass, as it could cause permanent discoloration. Additionally, aluminum foil and plastic will melt in hot cooking areas and should not be used on the cooktop surface. (Page 6, 9, 12)
