How can I avoid damaging my V-ZUG GK36TISC glass ceramic hob?
To prevent damage to your V-ZUG GK36TISC, please follow these guidelines:
▪ In the case of thermal failure, switch the solid plate off and allow it to cool down completely. Do not put any dishes on it. Do not cool with cold water under any circumstances.
▪ Do not climb onto the appliance.
▪ To avoid damaging the silicon grouting, do not put hot cookware on the frame.
▪ Do not cut or prepare food on the surface or drop hard objects onto it. Do not drag cookware across the surface.
▪ Make sure that no sugary foods or juices end up on the hot cooking zones. If they do, remove them immediately with a glass ceramic hob scraper while the hob is still hot, as this can damage the surface.
▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
▪ Pots with pure copper or aluminium bases should not be used for cooking as they leave behind traces that can be difficult to clean. If not removed immediately, they can be permanently burned on.
▪ Sliding pots and cookware across the glass ceramic causes scratches. Avoid this by lifting pots and cookware when placing them.
▪ Signs of usage such as scratches are normal. The glass ceramic used is of the best quality available on the market, but no glass is completely scratch-proof.

How does the V-ZUG GK36TISC induction hob work and what is pan detection?
Induction hobs like the V-ZUG GK36TISC work very differently from conventional hobs. The induction coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing magnetic field which directly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware. The glass ceramic plate itself is only warmed by the hot cookware. Removing the cookware immediately interrupts the energy supply. Induction hobs are quick reacting, finely adjustable, powerful, energy-efficient, and safe.
Pan Detection:
Every cooking zone is equipped with pan detection, which recognizes cookware with a magnetisable base suitable for induction.
▪ If cookware is removed during operation or unsuitable cookware is used, the selected power level flashes alternately with a “U” symbol.
▪ If no cookware is placed on the cooking zone within 10 minutes:
– The cooking zone switches off automatically.
– The display changes from “U” to “0”.
– The appliance switches off after 10 seconds if no other cooking zone is switched on.
What type of cookware should I use with my V-ZUG GK36TISC induction hob?
Suitable Cookware:
Only use cookware with a full magnetic base. You can check this in two ways:
▪ A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.
▪ On the hob, the set power level illuminates and the “U” symbol does not alternate with it.
Do not heat unsuitable cookware using aids like metal rings, as this can damage the hob.
Energy-efficient Cooking:
▪ The base of the cookware must be clean, dry, and smooth.
▪ Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
▪ Use a well-fitting lid.
▪ Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food being cooked.
Coated Cookware:
▪ Coated cookware, when empty, should never be heated at a power level higher than 7. The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
▪ For frying, do not use a power level higher than 9.
▪ Never use PowerPlus with coated frying pans.
Noise During Cooking:
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This is not a malfunction. The noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise is a considerable disturbance, changing the cookware may help.
