Practical advice for using the hob
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the
cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check
whether the diameter indicated is that of
the base or the top of the container, as
the top is almost always larger than the
base.
• The base of the cookware must be thick
and completely flat. It should also be
clean and dry. The hob should be clean
and dry as well.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which helps to retain vitamins contained
in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid as, if there is not
enough and it overheats, this may cause
damage to both the pressure cooker and
the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with
a suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan wastes energy.
• Do not use cast-iron cookware or
cookware with a rough base.
3.4 Using the oven
Switching on the oven
To switch on the oven:
1. Select the cooking function using the
function knob.
2. Select the temperature using the
temperature knob.
Under certain circumstances, if the
hob and the oven are being used
at the same time, the maximum
power limit that can be used by the
electrical system might be
exceeded.
Regular flashing of the thermostat
indicator light during cooking is
normal and indicates that the
temperature is being maintained
constant inside the oven.
