Suitable Pans - Miele KM 6200 Operating Instructions Manual

Suitable pans

34
– 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 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.
