Type of Soil
Possible Solution
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Surface scratches:
Small scratches
are common and do not affect cooking.
They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use
of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may
leave marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled
with glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. If this does not
remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft
Scrub® without bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse
and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to
remove metal marks before the next heating makes
removal very difficult.
Minerals in some water can be transferred
onto the sur-
face and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse
and dry. Recondition
with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Remove boilovers and stains before using the cooktop
again.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner before using to
remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and sea-
soning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with
bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use
recommended
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface.
Maintenance
This appliance
requires no maintenance

Service
Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem, it often will merely be
something
minor. Before you call customer service,
consider the suggestions
and instructions
below:
CAUTION
Repairs should only be done by a trained servicer.
Improper repair of your appliance
may result in risk
of severe physical injury or death.
The electronics
of your cooktop are underneath
the
control panel. For various reasons, the temperature
in
this area may rise sharply.
In order that the electronics
do not overheat, the cooking
zones are switched off as and when necessary. The i-c',
F%' or FS indicator appears alternately with the H or ,%
residual heat indicator.

Task
There is no power supply.
The touch controls are wet or an
object is resting on them.
Several cooking zones have been
used over a prolonged period at high
power settings. To protect the elec-
tronics, the cooking zone has been
switched off.
Despite the switch-off by I--2, the
electronics
have become hot again.
All cooking zones have therefore
been switched off.
Check the household
fuse for the appliance. Check
whether there is a power cut by trying other electronic
appliances.
Dry the controls or remove the object.
Wait a while. Touch any control. When F2 goes out, the
electronics
have cooled down sufficiently. You can con-
tinue cooking.
Wait a while. Touch any control. When F'-{ goes out, you
