Tips on using the cookware
Use high-quality cookware with a fl at and stable bottom.
• Transmission of heat is best when the pan bottom and
the cooking zone are of the same diameter, and the pan is
placed on the middle of the cooking zone.
• When using a tempered glass (Pyrex) or porcelain
cookware, please follow the cookware manufacturer’s
instructions.
• When using a pressure cooker, do not leave it unattended
until the desired pressure is reached. The cooking zone
should initially be set to the maximum power level; as the
pressure rises, use the sensors to decrease the power
level according to the pressure cooker manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Make sure there is always enough water, either in a pressure
cooker or in any other piece of cookware, as using an
empty pan on the cooking hob will result in overheating
which will damage both the pan and the cooking zone.
• Tempered glass (Pyrex) cookware with a specially brushed
bottom is suitable for use on cooking hobs if it fi ts the
diameter of the cooking zone. Cookware with larger
diameter may break due to thermal stress.
• When using any special or unconventional cookware, follow
the cookware manufacturer’s instructions.
• When a highly refl ective pan (bright metal surface) or a
pan with a thick bottom is used for cooking on a glass-
ceramic hob, cooking time can be extended by several
minutes (up to 10 minutes). If you wish to boil a larger
quantity of food, it is recommended to use a container with
a fl at dark bottom.
• Do not use clay cookware, because it may leave scratches
on the glass-ceramic hob.
• Pan bottom diameters should match the diameter of the
cooking zone. If the pan is too small, some heat is wasted;
furthermore, using a too small pan can damage the
cooking zone.
• Whenever possible given the cooking process, use a lid.
• The pan should be appropriately sized given the quantity
of food prepared. Preparing a small quantity of food in a
large pan will cause a waste of energy.
• Dishes that take a long time to cook should be prepared in
a pressure cooker.
• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc., can be cooked in a small
quantity of water; however, the lid should be closed tightly.
When the water is brought to boil, reduce the power level
to a setting that maintains a temperature just above boiling
point.
