4 Operating the appliance
▸ The adherence of the cookware to the hob surface is reduced during operation, and
the cookware can therefore be moved more easily.
▸ Thick pan walls absorb the vibrations and reduce the noise level.
Energy-efficient cooking
For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:
▪
The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
▪
Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
▪
Use a well-fitting lid.
▪
Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
Coated cookware
▪
For frying, do not use a higher power level than «7».
▪
Coated cookware may be operated above level «7» provided that the bottom of the
pan is completely covered with liquid.
– The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
Never use PowerPlus with coated frying pans.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does not indicate any malfunction, nor
does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes considerable disturb-
ance, it can help to change the cookware.
