apply
a
little
grease
to
its
painted
surface.

COOKWARE
SELECTION
C
ookware
should
have
a
thick,
flat
and
dry
bottom
of
the
diameter
equal
or
slightly
bigger
than
the
hot
plate.
If
cookware
diameter
is
smaller
than
the
hot
plate,
big
amounts
of
heat
w
ill
be
lost.
The
uneven
bases
of
the
cookware
m
ake
the
cooking
time
last
longer
and
cause
higher
consumption
of
energy
.
C
ookware
m
ade
of
flameproof
glass,
suitable
for
cooking
on
the
hot
plate,
should
match
the
hot
plate
size.
The
pans
projecting
beyond
the
hot
plate
m
ay
be
broken
due
to
temperature
stresses.
The
heated
pan
must
never
be
filled
up
w
ith
cold
w
ater
or
taken
away
onto
the
cold
m
etal
or
stone
surfaces.
The
pan
should
be
covered
with
a
lid,
which
prevents
the
kitchen
room
from
the
accumulation
of
excessive
amounts
of
vapour
.
