Overview
The following table presents the most common damage
caused:
Protecting the environment
Unpack the appliance and dispose of its packaging in such a
way that no damage is caused to the environment.
Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste
products
Energy-saving advice
ʋ
Always place the correct lid on the pan. Cooking with an
uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy
use.
ʋ
Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan
bases increase energy consumption.
ʋ
The diameter of the pan base must coincide with the
diameter of the hotplate. This generally means the pan base
diameter is greater than that of the hotplate. If the diameter of
the pan is not the same as the diameter of the hotplate, it is
preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in
diameter than the hotplate, otherwise half the energy will be
wasted. Please note: Whether the cookware manufacturer
has indicated the diameter of the top of the pan.
ʋ
Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are
going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a great
amount of energy.
ʋ
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves
energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.
ʋ
Select a lower power level.
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from the
traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in
the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:
ʋ
Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated
directly.
ʋ
Energy is saved.
ʋ
Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not
burn as quickly.
ʋ
Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power
immediately when the control knob is turned on. The
induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed
without having previously switched it off.
Suitable pans
Ferromagnetic pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking,
these may be made from:
ʋ
enamelled steel
ʋ
cast iron
ʋ
special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a
magnet will stick to it.
Special induction pans
There is another type of pan specially made for induction, the
base of which is not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter,
since this could affect detection of the pan, as well as the
cooking results.
Unsuitable pans
Never use pans made from:
ʋ
common thin steel
ʋ
glass
ʋ
earthenware
ʋ
copper
ʋ
aluminium
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of
the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help
diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute
heat uniformly, saving time and energy.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Food spillage Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch
the glass ceramic
Check pans.
Fading Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically produced for glass-ceramic hobs.
Contact with pans Lift pots and pans before moving them around.
Chips Sugar, substances with a high sugar
content
Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
