Cleaning The Hotplates - Zanussi ZL 55 Instruction Book

Save energy!
• Putting a lid on pans cuts the amount of energy
used by half (compared to cooking without lids).
• Using pans with flat bases saves 25% energy
(compared to uneven based pans).
• Make sure the hob is clean and dry. Dirt and
moisture reduce heat transfer between pans and
hotplates.
• Turn the hotplates off and finish cooking using
the remaining heat.
• Save energy by steaming and pressure-cooking.

Cleaning the hotplates

Remove spillages as soon as possible, to prevent them
from burning onto the hotplate. Soilage impairs the
transfer of heat to the pan.
Cleaning and anti-corrosion treatment
Clean the hotplates thoroughly with soapimpreg-
1
nated steel-wool. Wash off all traces of soap, and
dry using paper towels.
When the hotplates are cold and dry, apply an even
2
layer of the anti-corrosion product to each. This
product is available from Electrolux dealers.
The product now needs to be heated on the hot-
3
plates. Heat one hotplate at a time on full power for
no more than five minutes. Some smoke and fumes
are to be expected as the remaining solvent evapo-
rates.
Use white spirit to remove any traces of the product
4
on your hands or (after the cooker has cooled) on
the cooker enamel.
