hotplates heat up, according to the time
which has been set. The timer should
never be set to zero if the hotplates are to
work.
Advice on using the electric
hotplates effectively
In order to achieve the best results from
cooking, the following guidelines should
be followed:
* Use pans with a flat base, as the greater
the surface contact between the pan
and the glass, the greater will be the
heat transmission. Figure 10 shows how
pans that are dented or concave have a
smaller contact surface.
* We recommend the use of heavy pans
so that the base is more difficult to dent.
* The use of pans with a diameter which is
smaller than that indicated in the heating
area is not recommended.
* Make sure that the pans are well cen-
tred on the outlines shown on the hea-
ting area.
* Dry the pans’ bases before putting them
on the glass ceramic hob.
* Do not leave any plastic object or uten-
sil, or any aluminium foil, lying on the
glass hob.
* Do not drag pans with corners or edges
that could damage the glass.
* Do not use the glass ceramic hob
without a pan on the area that is swit-
ched on.
* Do not cook with plastic pans.
* Pans should be made of a material
which is heat-resistent so that they do
not melt on the glass.
* The glass will tolerate bangs from big
pans that do not have sharp edges. Be
careful with impacts from small, sharp
instruments.
Avoid spilling sugar, or products
containing sugar, on the glass, since
these may react with the glass and
damage the surface.
Cleaning and looking after
glass ceramic hobs

condition, it should be cleaned with suita-
