advice
Rough pan bottoms may scratch the cooktop.
Avoid leaving empty pans on the cooking areas. This may result in damage to the
appliance. If special cookware is used, please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never place any hot pans or other cookware on the control panel, the display area
or the cooktop frame.
Salt, sugar and sand particles may scratch the cooktop.
Hard or pointed objects may damage the cooktop if they are dropped on it.
Do not use the cooktop as a work or support surface.
Sugar and other similar products may damage the cooktop. Remove such products
immediately using a scraper for glass surfaces.
The use of unsuitable cleaning products and the wear caused by contact with
cookware will result in fading of the metal parts.
Aluminum foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on element while it is hot.
Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bottoms increase
energy consumption. Place a ruler against the bottom of the pan. If there are no
gaps, this means the bottom is completely flat.
The diameter of the pan you are using should be the same as the diameter of
the element. Please note: If the cookware manufacturer provides the diameter
for the top of the pan, bear in mind that this is in most cases greater than the
diameter of its bottom. This is generally greater than the diameter of the base of
the pan. If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the diameter of the
element, it is preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in diameter
than the element, otherwise half the energy will be wasted.
Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A
large pan that is only half full will use a great amount of energy.
Ensure that pans are always placed in the center of the element and always
cover them with a lid. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold
increase in energy use.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This will save energy and preserve
the vitamins and minerals of cooked vegetables.
When cooking stews or liquid food such as soups, sauces or drinks, these may
reach a high temperature within a very short time and without warning, with the
risk of spillage. Therefore, it is advisable to heat food slowly, adjusting the heat
setting to an adequate level and stirring the food before and during the heating
process.
