Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the hob top (Fig. 2.4). Using
smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on.
Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
Always lift pans off the hob (Fig. 2.5). Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the 'OFF'
position before removing a pan.
Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob

surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can 'stick' to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
off the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, slide the lid to the edge of the hob surface
and remove.
There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas
(Fig. 2.6). The lights come on when a hob control is turned on
and stays lit while the surface cools.
Always take care before touching the surface, even

when the hob is turned off – it may be hotter than
you think.
The ratings of the different cooking areas are shown in
Fig. 2.7.
When cooking on the hob, you may see the hob area you
are using switch off and on: this is caused by a safety device
that limits the temperature of the hob. This is quite normal,
especially when cooking at high temperatures. If it happens
a lot with a particular pan, however, it may mean the pan is
not suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven – for a ceramic
hob.
For best results, preheat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes
before adding food to it.
Use only heat-resistant dishes.
