Surface Cooking Utensils
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the appliance when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels or wood spoons
could catch fire if placed too close to a heat.
Note:
Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooking surface.
For best results and energy savings, only use pans suitable for electric cooking.
The bottom of the pan must be very thick and perfectly flat.
Before placing on the burner, make sure that the pan and burner, are perfectly clean and dry.
To avoid scratching of the ceramic glass surface, never use cast-iron pans or pans with a
rough bottom.
POT SIZES:
To avoid wasting energy, make sure that the diameter of the pan bottom is 20mm bigger than
the circle marked on the hotplate.
The pot sizes stated in the table below are suitable for your ceramic surface. Solids pots and
pans with flat bottoms are recommended for efficient cooking. (See Figure 9)
