You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the solid plates.
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry.
Cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
Food or liquid that has a high sugar content may damage the cooktop if it comes into contact with the hotplates.
Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however, this may not prevent the hotplates from becoming
damaged.
Large pots MUST NOT be placed over two or more hotplates as damage will more than likely occur.
Do not leave pans unattended on a hotplate.
Never heat an empty pan.
Switch off the heating element before removing the pan. Once switched off, the hotplates will remain warm for
a while.
Avoid using oversized pans that may radiate excessive heat and cause damage to surrounding surfaces.
WARNING: Do not use the hotplate if the surface becomes broken or cracked.
