Efficient Use of your Hob
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 appropriate zones depending
on the sizes of the pans. The most efficient use of the hob is shown
below, where the pans and zones are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your
appliance.
Turn off each zone a few minutes before the end of cooking time.
The residual heat in the zones will continue to cook the food for the
remaining cooking time.
It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a
suitable material and have the correct type of base. The base should
be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base could scratch
the ceramic hob top.
