Helpful Hints And Tips; Care And Cleaning - Leonard LAM6000E Instrucciones De Uso

Before first use
Put cookware containing water on each
cooking zone, set the maximum position
and operate the appliance for 10 min. This
is to burn off the residue in the appliance.
After that, operate the appliance at mini-
mum position for 20 min. During this peri-
od, an odour and smoke can occur. This is
normal. Make sure that the airflow is suffi-
cient.
Rapid hot plate
A red dot in the middle of the plate shows a
rapid hot plate. A rapid hot plate heats up
faster than usual plates.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hotplate be-
fore you start it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before the
end of the cooking time to use resid-
ual heat.
• For satisfactory results, the bottom
of pans must have the same dimen-
sions (or slightly larger) as solid hot-
plates. Do not use smaller pans.
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must
be as thick and flat as possible.

CARE AND CLEANING

Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Warning! Before any maintenance or
cleaning can be carried out, you must
disconnect the hob from the electricity
supply.
The hob is best cleaned while it is still
warm, as spillage can be removed
more easily than if it is left to cool.
Use to:
Off position
The red dot is painted on the surface and
can come off after some time. It does not
have an effect on the performance of the
appliance.
The rapid hot plate can smoke and make
an odour when you use it for the first time.
The smoke and an odour will go off after a
while.

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest
scientific knowledge, if you brown food
(specially the one which contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus,
we recommend that you cook at the lowest
temperatures and do not brown food too
much.
Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive
cleaning agents will damage the
appliance.
For your safety, do not clean the appli-
ance with steam blasters or high-pres-
sure cleaners.
The stainless steel can become tarnished if
it is too much heated. Refer to this you
must not cook with potstones, earthenware
pans or cast iron plates. Do not use alumi-
