For best results and energy saving, only use receptacles suitable for electric cooking:
-
The bottom of the receptacles must be very thick and perfectly flat; before
placing on the cooking hob, make sure that it, as well as the cooking hob
itself, are perfectly clean and dry.
-
To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never use cast-iron receptacles or
receptacles with a rough bottom.
-
To avoid waste of energy, make sure that the diameter of the receptacle
bottom is the same as that of the circle marked on the cooking hob.
