Efficient Use of Your Hob

The hob is equipped with zones designed to accommodate most 
shapes and sizes of pan.  For best results, only use pans with flat 
bottoms. The most efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the 
pan and zone are correctly chosen. Use pan lids where possible to 
minimize the energy usage of your appliance.

Locating a pan in the centre of the zone markings will ensure optimum 
efficiency. 

It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable 
material and have the correct type of base. The base of the pan and 
the hob top must be clean before use to prevent any scratches on the 
hob top.

Please note:

 Extra care should be taken if cast iron pans are used as 

these have coarse bases which may damage the hob top.
