Before purchasing or installing a ready-made panel from the brand, it is recommended to read the advice of professionals.

• It is worth taking care of the built-in surfaces very carefully. So, you should not wipe them with a regular dishwashing sponge, otherwise not only stains will remain on the surface, but also grease stains. If the glass ceramic panel is like many of the products in the range, it is best to use a separate sponge and soft cloth, and a mild detergent to clean it.
• It is very important to avoid burning food, and also not to place dirty pots on the surface of the panel. Otherwise, the sensor on the induction or electric hob, the grate on the gas fridge will quickly become dirty and it will be very difficult to clean them.
• When using an induction hob, it is important to remember to use only cookware adapted for them.
• The hob should only be installed by qualified craftsmen. Before the first use, it is very important to study in detail all the instructions for the panel and understand all the functions offered.
• Products from the brand are quite expensive, and therefore they should be purchased only from official suppliers at licensed points of sale. Otherwise, you may stumble upon a low-quality item, the money for which may not be returned. The same applies to the acquisition of parts in case of possible breakdowns. They must be of the same firm.
• When choosing a panel, it is recommended to immediately look at it with an oven of the same brand. It can be located underneath or isolated. If it matches the style of the panel, the interior will be more harmonious.
• When choosing a hob, it is very important to study in detail its technical characteristics, capabilities and size range. For very small kitchens, there is absolutely no need to buy a hob with 4 burners.

As for the disadvantages that customers drew attention to, they attributed to them the absence of a protective metal frame on some models of touch panels, for example, on the Whirlpool Pleat AKT 809 / NE. Also, those users of touch panels who, with due care, have worn them over time, express their indignation. However, this review can be taken with skepticism, because when leaving it is very important to observe a number of nuances so that over time the panel coating remains perfect.
