Efficient Use of Your Hob
Before using your hob for the first time, switch the zones on for a FEW
SECONDS to burn off any grease left over from the manufacturing
process.
The ceramic glass retains heat, so to make best use of the residual
heat, switch off the zone five minutes prior to the end of cooking.
To reduce the cooking time, the zone can be set to the maximum
setting at the beginning of cooking, and then reduced during cooking
time.
The hob is equipped with zones of different sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results,
only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate zone
depending on the size of the pan. The most efficient use of the hob is
shown below, where the pan and zone are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimise the energy usage of your
appliance.
