Important information about your electric hotplate

If the diameter of the pot or pan base is not the same as that of
the hotplate or if the pan base is not flat, energy will be used
unnecessarily. Any overflowing liquid will burn on and leave stains
that are difficult to remove.
Make sure that the pot or pan base is dry.
The electric hotplate must not be switched on if there is no pan on
it.
Due to the effects of heat, the metallic hotplate ring will discolour
over time. You can remove this discolouration by cleaning the
hotplate ring using the rough side of a sponge and a cleaning
agent. When cleaning, make sure that the sponge does not come
into contact with the hotplate.
Residual heat will still be present when the hotplate is switched
off. Keep children away from the appliance.
Make sure that the rotary knob for the hotplate is switched off
following a power cut.
Table - Cooking
Select the right saucepan size for each burner. The diameter of
the pot or pan base should be the same as that of the burner.
Cooking times depend on the type, weight and quality of the food.
Deviations are therefore possible. You yourself can best judge the
optimal cooking time.
Minerals and vitamins are very quickly destroyed during cooking.
Therefore, only use a little water. This will help vitamins and
minerals to be retained. Select short cooking times so that the
vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
