How to use the hob

General information about cooking

DANGER
Never fill the pan with oil more than one
third of it. Do not leave the hob
unattended when heating oil. Overheated
oils bring risk of fire.
Never attempt to extinguish a possible
fire with water! When oil catches fire,
cover it with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
Turn off the hob if it is safe to do so and call
the fire department.
• Before frying foods, always dry them well and
gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete
thawing of frozen foods before frying.
• Do not cover the vessel you use when heating
oil.
• Place the pans and saucepans in a manner
so that their handles are not over the hob to
prevent heating of the handles. Do not place
unbalanced and easily tilting vessels on the
hob.
• Do not place empty vessels and saucepans
on cooking zones that are switched on. They
might get damaged.
• Operating a cooking zone without a vessel or
saucepan on it will cause damage to the
product. Turn off the cooking zones after the
cooking is complete.
• As the surface of the product can be hot, do
not put plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
Such vessels should not be used to keep
foods either.
• Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels only.
• Put appropriate amount of food in saucepans
and pans. Thus, you will not have to make
any unnecessary cleaning by preventing the
dishes from overflowing.
Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on
cooking zones.
Place the saucepans in a manner so that they
are centered on the cooking zone. When you
want to move the saucepan onto another
cooking zone, lift and place it onto the
cooking zone you want instead of sliding it.
Gas cooking
• Size of the vessel and the flame must match
each other. Adjust the gas flames so that they
will not extend the bottom of the vessel and
center the vessel on saucepan carrier.
