Pans - Miele KM 520 Operating And Installation Manual

Pans

– Most suitable
The best pans for use on a ceramic
hob are those with a thick base
which is very slightly concave when
cold. When heated, the base flattens
to rest evenly on the hob, 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 a ceramic and
stainless steel hob cleaner (see
"Cleaning and care").
– Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g.
cast iron pans. These could scratch
or scour the hob surface
permanently.
– Lift pans into position on the hob.
Sliding them into place can cause
scuffs and scratches.
– Often the maximum diameter quoted
hot
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.
