Cookware - Miele KM 6002 Operating And Installation Instructions

The most suitable cookware is metal
pots and pans with thick bases that,
when cold, bulge inwards slightly. On
warming, the base expands and rests
flat on the cooktop; this conducts the
heat optimally.
Cold
Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less
suitable. These materials do not
conduct the heat well.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum
is not suitable. These melt at high
temperatures.
Cookware that is made of aluminum or
has an aluminum base can leave behind
shiny metallic spots. These spots can
be removed with ceramic and stainless
steel cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
The composition of the pan base can
affect the evenness of the cooking
results (e.g. when making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
base diameter (see chapter "Cooking
zones").
– Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
– Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching.
– The maximum diameter indicated by
Hot
manufacturers will often refer to the
diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.
