Using the hotplates of your cooker
Hotplate Safety Warnings
• Do not use if the ceramic glass top is cracked or broken.
• Do not leave aluminium foil on the hot ceramic hotplates (permanent damage will occur)
NOTE: Stored heat in the hotplate can be used for the last few minutes of cooking.
Simply turn off the control.
Choose the right saucepans
The image below will help you in making sure that the correct saucepans are used on
your cooktop.
• Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and
cook slowly.
• Always use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste
energy.
• Always put dry pots and pans on the hotplates.
• Do not use pots and pans which are too large. Pans which overhang the hotplate more than
50 mm can damage the hob
• Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagrams below before you use your cooker
for the first time.
