MOST SUITABLE COOKWARE
FOR THE ELECTRIC PLATE
(depending on model)
Use cookware with flat bottoms that perfectly
hug the surface of the burner:
—
In stainless steel with a thick, tri metal or
"sandwich" bottom.
—
In aluminium with a thick (smooth) bottom.
—
In enamelled steel.
POWERING ON THE ELECTRIC
PLATE (depending on the model)
Position the knob on the marking that
corresponds to the desired cooking method
(Fig. 01)
(See Cooking Guides at the end of
this guide). The cooking zone's power
indicator lights up.
Upon first use, allow the plate to heat up with
no cookware at maximum power for three
minutes to harden the coating.
Tip
—
Use cookware of an appropriate
size: the diameter of the bottom of the
cookware should be equal to or greater
than the diameter of the electric cooking
zone
(Fig. 02)
.
—
When cooking is nearly complete, turn the
knob to the "O" off position to take
advantage of the heat accumulated in the
plate.
—
Use a lid on your cookware as often as
possible to reduce the loss of heat by
evaporation.
Warning
Do not operate an electric cooking
zone without cookware (except during
initial use) or with an empty pot.
Warning
The electric plate will remain hot for
a certain time after the knob has been
turned to the "O" position. Do not touch
this zone because there is a risk of
burning.
