Efficient Use of your Hob
The hob is equipped with hotplates 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 hotplate depending on the size of the pan. The most
efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pan and hotplate are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your appliance.
Turn off each hotplate a few minutes before the end of cooking time. The residual heat in the hotplate will continue to
cook the food for the remaining cooking time. This will also help preserve the look of your appliance.
The table below shows the sizes of pan that should be used with each hotplate:
