Elements

that

may

damage

the

appliance

Rough

pan

bottoms

may

scratch

the

cooktop.

Avoid

leaving

empty

pans

on

the

cooking

areas.

This

may

result

in

damage

to

the

appliance.

If

special

cookware

is

used,

please

follow

the

manufacturer's

instructions.

Never

place

any

hot

pans

or

other

cookware

on

the

control

panel,

the

display

area

or

the

cooktop

frame.

Salt,

sugar

and

sand

particles

may

scratch

the

cooktop.

Hard

or

pointed

objects

may

damage

the

cooktop

if

they

are

dropped

on

it.

Do

not

use

the

cooktop

as

a

work

or

support

surface.

Sugar

and

other

similar

products

may

damage

the

cooktop.

Remove

such

products

immediately

using

a

scraper

for

glass

surfaces.

The

use

of

unsuitable

cleaning

products

and

the

wear

caused

by

contact

with

cookware

will

result

in

fading

of

the

metal

parts.

Aluminum

foil

and

plastic

containers

will

melt

if

placed

on

element

while

it

is

hot.

Energy-saving

advice

D

Use

pans

equipped

with

a

solid,

flat

bottom.

Curved

pan

bottoms

increase

energy

consumption.

Place

a

ruler

against

the

bottom

of

the

pan.

If

there

are

no

gaps,

this

means

the

bottom

is

completely

flat.

D

The

diameter

of

the

pan

you

are

using

should

be

the

same

as

the

diameter

of

the

element.

Please

note:

If

the

cookware

manufacturer

provides

the

diameter

for

the

top

of

the

pan,

bear

in

mind

that

this

is

in

most

cases

greater

than

the

diameter

of

its

bottom.

This

is

generally

greater

than

the

diameter

of

the

base

of

the

pan.

If

the

diameter

of

the

pan

is

not

the

same

as

the

diameter

of

the

element,

it

is

preferable

to

use

a

pan

with

a

bottom

that

is

larger

in

diameter

than

the

element,

otherwise

half

the

energy

will

be

wasted.

D

Choose

pans

of

a

size

suited

to

the

amount

of

food

you

are

going

to

cook.

A

large

pan

that

is

only

half

full

will

use

a

great

amount

of

energy.

D

Ensure

that

pans

are

always

placed

in

the

center

of

the

element

and

always

cover

them

with

a

lid.

Cooking

with

an

uncovered

pan

will

result

in

a

four-fold

increase

in

energy

use.

D

Use

a

small

amount

of

water

when

cooking.

This

will

save

energy

and

preserve

the

vitamins

and

minerals

of

cooked

vegetables.

D

When

cooking

stews

or

liquid

food

such

as

soups,

sauces

or

drinks,

these

may

reach

a

high

temperature

within

a

very

short

time

and

without

warning,

with

the

risk

of

spillage.

Therefore,

it

is

advisable

to

heat

food

slowly,

adjusting

the

heat

setting

to

an

adequate

level

and

stirring

the

food

before

and

during

the

heating

process.
