Use only high quality pots with fl at and stable bottom.
• Always be careful to put the pot in the middle of the cooking
zone.
• If you use the pots made of temperature resistant glass or
earthenware, always consider the manufacturer’s instructions.
• If you use a pressure cooker, never leave it unattended. Select
the highest temperature setting, wait until the correct pressure
is reached in the pressure cooker and turn the knob to a lower
setting, as recommended by the manufacturer of the pot.
• When using high radiation (bright metal surface) crockery, or
thick bottom dishes for preparing food on the glass ceramic
hob, the period of reaching the boiling point may be prolonged
for certain time (up to 10 minutes). Consequently, if you need to
boil considerable amount of liquid, it is recommended to use the
dark,
fl at bottom pot.
The cooker top can be damaged if:
• switched on and left uncovered or with an empty pot on it,
• if you use pots with an inadequate bottom like uneven, rough or
too small diameter bottoms (traditional coffee pan).
• Never use the earthenware pots as they are very likely to
scratch the ceramic glas surface.
• Before putting the pot on the hot plate, thoroughly wipe the
bottom of the pot, to prevent heat conduction and to protect the
hot plate.
Pots and Pans
• The bottom of the pot should be slightly concave for optimum
heat transfer from the cooking zone.
• The bottom of the pot should always suit the size of the
cooking zone. If the pot is smaller, it can cause energy loss
and if larger, the cooking zone may become damaged.
• Use a pot lid whenever possible.
• The pot size should suit the quantity of food. Cooking smaller
quantities of food in a large pot results in energy loss.
• Food which needs longer cooking may also be prepared in the
pressure cooker.
• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc. can be cooked with a
smaller quantity of water. This way the food is cooked much
sooner, but do not forget to cover the pan properly. When
the water starts boiling, turn the knob to the position for slow
boiling.
• Some 5-10 minutes before the food is cooked, switch off the
hot plate , whichever you are using.
