How to use the hob
General information about
cooking
Never fill the pan with oil more
than one third of it. Do not
leave the hob unattended when
heating oil. Overheated oils
bring risk of fire.
Never attempt
to extinguish a possible fire
with water!
When oil catches
fire, cover it with a fire blanket
or damp cloth. Turn off the hob
if it is safe to do so and call the
fire department.
•
Before frying foods, always dry them well
and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure
complete thawing of frozen foods before
frying.
•
Do not cover the vessel you use when
heating oil.
•
Place the pans and saucepans in a
manner so that their handles are not
over the hob to prevent heating of the
handles. Do not place unbalanced and
easily tilting vessels on the hob.
•
Do not place empty vessels and
saucepans on cooking zones that are
switched on. They might get damaged.
•
Operating a cooking zone without a
vessel or saucepan on it will cause
damage to the product. Turn off the
cooking zones after the cooking is
complete.
•
As the surface of the product can be hot,
do not put plastic and aluminum vessels
on it.
Clean any melted such materials on the
surface immediately.
Such vessels should not be used to keep
foods either.
•
Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels
only.
•
Put appropriate amount of food in
saucepans and pans. Thus, you will not
have to make any unnecessary cleaning
by preventing the dishes from
overflowing.
Do not put covers of saucepans or pans
on cooking zones.
Place the saucepans in a manner so that
they are centered on the cooking zone.
When you want to move the saucepan
onto another cooking zone, lift and place
it onto the cooking zone you want
instead of sliding it.
Tips about glass ceramic hobs
•
Glass ceramic surface is heatproof and is
not affected by big temperature
differences.
•
Do not use the glass ceramic surface as
a place of storage or as a cutting board.
•
Use only the saucepans and pans with
machined bottoms. Sharp edges create
scratches on the surface.
•
Do not use aluminum vessels and
saucepans. Aluminum damages the
glass ceramic surface.
Spills may damage
the glass ceramic
surface and cause
fire.
Do not use vessels
with concave or
convex bottoms.
Use only the
saucepans and
pans with flat
bottoms. They
ensure easier heat
transfer.
If the diameter of
the saucepan is too
small, energy will
be wasted.
