4. SOLID HEATING PLATES
To protect your plates and ensure the best service especially in coastal towns
or wet climates, do the following:
• Switch the new plate on to the highest heat position.
• Let it burn for the period of 4 minutes.
• Switch the plates off and rub the surface with a small quantity of clean cooking
oil. Do not use previously used fats or cooking oils.
• Repeat this treatment immediately after each plate has been used during the
first four weeks after purchase. It is important that this should be done while the
plate is still warm as the heat carbonizes the oil.
If this is repeated a sufficient number of times for each cooking plate, the pores
of the metal become filled by carbonized oil, thus sealing the surface of the
plate against the ingress of moisture or any corrosives such as salt and acid
solutions. Once a hard, black layer has been formed by treating the plate as
recommended above, the plate needs very little attention other than being kept
clean and dry.
• If any liquid is spilled on the plate while in use, wipe it off as soon as possible.
• Never scrub the plate with harsh scouring powders, detergents or agents,
never use steel wool on the plate.
• Do not let moisture lie on a cold plate, wipe it off and switch the plate on for a
few minutes so that it can dry thoroughly.
• Try to use all the plates regularly as an infrequently used plate tends to
corrode. If these precautions are taken, no undue rusting of the stove should
be experienced, even under coastal conditions.
SAFETY TIPS FOR USING THE CERAMIC COOKTOP
a. Before switching on, check which knob controls the desired cooking zone. It is
best to place the pot or pan on the cooking zone before switching on and
remove it only after switching off.
b. Use only flat-bottomed pans/pots with a regular surface (caution must
be taken with cast iron pans). Irregular bottoms can scratch and damage
the glass-ceramic surface. Check that the bottom is clean and dry.
c. Recommended base thickness 2-3mm for enamelled steel and 4-6mm for
stainless steel with sandwich bottom.
d. Never cook food directly on the glass-ceramic cooktop; always use suitable
