Practical advice on using the hob

•Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.

•Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the heat produced.

•Always make sure that the base of the pan is completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both the pans and the hob last for a longer period of time.

•Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.

•Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to become damaged.
