How to use the hob General information about cooking 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. Clean any melted such materials on the surface immediately. 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. Saucepan selection Glass ceramic surface is heatproof and is not affected by big temperature differences. • Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a place of storage or as a cutting board. • Use only the saucepans and pans with machined bottoms. Sharp edges create scratches on the surface. Spills may damage the glass ceramic surface and cause fire. Do not use vessels with concave or convex bottoms. Use only the saucepans and pans with flat l'''22•••nrrurvimw-1 bottoms. They ensure easier heat transfer. For induction hobs, use only vessels suitable for induction cooking. Saucepan test Use following methods to test whether your saucepan is compatible with the induction hob or not. 1. Your saucepan is compatible if its bottom holds a magnet. 2. Your saucepan is compatible if "Y" symbol does not flash when you place your saucepan on a cooking zone. Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking Ferromagnetic materials include: Enameled steel Cast iron ■ Stainless steel designed for induction cooking 14/EN
