To obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the
cooking zone perfectly.
• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to
cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry
and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long life, not
only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners:
the heat concentration on gas burners may deform the base
of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware on it
because as it heats up and rapidly reaches the maximum
level, which could damage the heating elements.
! There might be traces of grease left by the glue used to seal
the glass which should be removed before using the appliance
with a mild cleaning product. During the first few hours of use
you might smell rubber but this will disappear quickly.
