• keeping a larger quantity of liquid boiling,
• stewing.
c) Level 7-9 can be used for
• cooking food requiring fast heating and high temperature (beef steaks, schnitzels, fried potatoes etc.),
• heating food before switching over to a lower level.
Energy Saving Tips
• Flat bottom of utensil
Use pots and pans with thick flat bottoms. Uneven bottoms result in extension of the cooking time.
• Proper size of utensil
Use the proper size of the cooking utensil for each hotzone. The diameter of the bottom of a pot or pan should be
smaller than or the same as the hotzone size.
Note: Take into account that manufacturers often state the upper diameter of a cooking utensil, which is usually larger
than its bottom diameter.
• Adequate size of utensil
For small quantity of food use a little pot. Large and only partially filled pot needs too much energy.
• Covering by a lid
Always cover pots and pans with suitable lids. Cooking without a lid implies the consumption of much more energy.
• Cooking with a little quantity of water
Cook food with a little quantity of water. Thus you save energy. Vitamins and mineral matters will remain preserved
when cooking vegetables.
• Switching over to a lower power level
Switch over to a lower power level on time.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The heating plate itself does not warm up, so no remains of food can get burnt on it. For cleaning of the heating plate
you do not have to wait until it cools down.
Never use high-pressure cleaners or autoclaves for cleaning the heating plate.
Maintenance
For the care of the heating plate use a protective and preservation agent designed for glass-ceramic surfaces. It will
cover the heating plate with a protective layer which repels dirt and facilitates cleaning.
Cleaning of the heating plate
Clean the heating plate after each cooking session. It will prevent the remains of food from burning during the next
cooking session.
For the removal of food remains and the layer of grease use a glass scraper.
For cleaning the lukewarm heating plate use a cleaning agent and a paper towel. If the plate is cleaned while hot, stains
could appear on it.
Then wipe the plate with a damp cloth and wipe it dry using a soft cloth.
Cleaners
Use cleaners suitable for glass-ceramic surfaces, e.g. CERA, CLEN, Cera-fix, Sidol for ceran + steel.
Water stains can also be removed by means of lemon or vinegar.
