SUITABLE COOKWARE
• Most suitable
The best pans for use on a ceramic
hob are those with a thick base which is
very slightly concave when cold. When
heated, the base flattens to rest evenly
on the hob, optimising the conduction
of the heat.
• Less suitable
Pans made of glass, ceramic or
stoneware are less suitable, as they
do not conduct the heat so well.
• Not suitable
Dishes or containers made from plastic
or aluminium foil must not be used as
these melt at high temperatures.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove any residues of food and
drops of grease from the cooking
surface by using the special scraper
supplied on request (Fig.10).
• Clean the heated area as thoroughly
as possible using suitable products,
and a cloth/paper, then rinse with
water and dry with a clean cloth.
• Using the special scraper immediately
remove any fragments of aluminium
and plastic material that have
unintentionally melted on the heated
cooking area, or residues of sugar
or food with a high sugar content. In
this way, any damage to the cooktop
surface can be prevented.
•
Under no circumstances should
abrasive sponges, or corrosive
chemical detergents, such as oven
sprays or stain removers, be used.
• Do not use water spray and steam to
clean the appliance.
USE
(see Fig.9)
This appliance is particularly suitable
for the preparation of foods that are
normally grilled or cooked on the hot-
plate (meat or vegetables) allowing
cooking without the addition of fats.
It is recommended the usage of flat-
bottomed recipients with a diameter that
is large enough to cover the hotplate
fully in order to use all the available heat
(Fig.8).
