Hints and Tips
Important: When ceramic heaters are
operated in higher heat settings, the
heated areas may be seen switching
on and off. This is due to a safety device,
which prevents the glass from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures,
causing no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
WARNING:
• Never operate the hob without
pans on the cooking zone.
• Use only flat saucepans with a
sufficiently thick base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry
before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation,
it is important to ensure that the pan is
centred correctly above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never use
a pan with a different diameter to the
hotplate being used.
