Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from
your hob.
• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases : using this
type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and
pans will provide an even distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling pans with liquid or using
one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely
dry before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit :
the size of the pan should be no smaller than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the
energy will be used at its maximum efficiency.
THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE - The following information will help you to choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The
sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and
stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat
distribution).
Aluminium : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used.
Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended. Good performance, but
copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a
residue that will permanently stain the hob.
Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth, flat base.
Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
HOB COOKWARE ADVICE
• Halolight zone : is regulated by a control knob with 6 heat positions.
It is a combination of halogen (1/3) and high light (2/3).
The temperature rise of this surface unit is extremely rapid.
It is suitable for frying meat, rapid boiling and intensive cooking where a high
temperature is required for a very short period of time.
• hilight zone : is regulated by a control knob with 6 heat positions.
A metallic conductor strip is uniformly spread over the whole surface of the unit.
It is operational within 3 seconds and is suitable for steady, homogeneous and
sustained cooking.
