Optimal use of the hob
■ Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This will prevent food
remains ending up on the red-hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food remains are
difficult to remove. In addition, the handles may become too hot and a lot of
energy is lost.
■ Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer
suitable for use on a ceramic hob.
■ Do not use aluminium foil, such as the trays from ready-made meals, for
cooking food in. If aluminium foil melts on the cooking surface, it cannot be
removed. Aluminium foil is also a very poor conductor of heat.
■ Always pick pans up to move them.
■ Sliding pans can cause scratches that cannot be removed.
■ Only place pans with clean, dry bottoms on the cooking surface. This will avoid
causing stains that are difficult to remove.
■ Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy loss.
■ Slide the bottom of the pan over a slightly damp cloth, before placing the pan
on the cooking zone. This prevents dirt getting on to the cooking surface.
■ The cooking zone can be switched off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time. The dish will then finish cooking on the residual heat, provided
you keep the lid on the pan.
