Using suitable cookware

Better pans produce better results.

•You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as possible.

•When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.

•Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these pans are slid across the surface.

•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).

•If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

Energy saving tips

NOTE

You can save valuable energy by observing the following points.

• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.

• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power consumption.

• When possible, position the lids firmly on the pots and pans to cover completely.

• Switch the cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat for keeping foods warm or for thawing.

NOTE

Do not use one piece of cookware on both the left and right cooking zones.

Using the touch control sensors

To operate the touch control sensors, touch the desired panel with the tip of your pointed finger until the relevant displays illuminate or go out, or until the desired function is activated.

Ensure that you are touching only one sensor panel when operating the appliance. If your finger is too flat on the panel, an adjacent sensor may be actuated as well.

Switching the appliance on

The appliance is switched on using the On/ Off control sensor.

Touch the On/Off control sensor for approximately 1~2 seconds.

The digital displays will show .

NOTE

After the On/Off control sensor has been actuated to switch on your appliance, a heat setting must be selected within approximately 20 seconds. Otherwise, the appliance will switch itself off for safety reasons.
