Pans - Miele KM 5603 Operating And Installation Instructions

Pans

Most suitable: Pans with a thick base
which is very slightly concave when
cold. When heated, the base flattens to
rest evenly on the cooktop, optimising
the conduction of the heat.
Cold
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.
Aluminium pans or pans with an
aluminium base can cause metallic,
shiny marks to appear on the ceramic
surface. These marks can be removed
using the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner (see "Cleaning
and care").
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the evenness
with which food heats up in the pan.
– For optimum use of the cooking
zone, use a pan with an appropriate
base diameter (see "Cooking zones").
– Do not use pots and pans with bases
with pronounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the
cooktop surface permanently.
– Lift pans into position on the
cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.

– Often the maximum diameter quoted
by manufacturers refers to the
diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.
