Selecting pots and pans
CAUTION!
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions!
F
Only pots and pans made of metal can be used with the pan recognition
function. To use other kinds of utensils, please deactivate the pan
recognition function.
You can save time and power by using ideal pots and pans.
• Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms.
Uneven bottom surfaces can increase energy usage and the amount of
time needed to start the cooking process.
• Pans with rough bottom surfaces will scratch the glass-ceramic cooking
area when they are moved around.
• Use a pan with a diameter at least as large as the cooking area.
Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
• Whenever possible, always place a lid on the pan.
It will help you save a lot of energy. Liquids and foods will only boil over
if the temperature is set too high. The cooking zones enable you to set
the required temperature precisely. With a little practice, you’ll learn how
to choose the perfect cooking settings so nothing will boil over--even when
a lid is on.
