Zanussi ZES 646 manual For the correct use of the hot- plates

For the correct use of the hot- plates

For better efficiency of the electric hotplates and lower electricity consumption:

• switch on the hotplates only after placing the pots on them.

•For cooking on the electric hotplates

it is advisable to use triple-bottom pots of the same width as the cooking zone, or slightly larger (Fig. 3).

• Do not use wet pots on the electric

hot-plates, and do not place wet lids on the switched off hot-plates, because the moisture and condensate could damage them.

• If possible, place lids on the pots.

Copper or aluminium pots and pans
are not very suitable for cooking on
the electric hotplates, because they
can leave residues, stains and marks.
Likewise, meat grills in cast iron or
other alloys are not suitable for cooking
on the electric hotplates, because
they cause dangerous accumulation
of heat.
Also, the rough bottom can scratch		Fig. 3
the cooktop	and the material can
stain it. Possibly choose a meat grill in
stainless steel with triple bottom.
The use of glass containers is also
inadvisable,	because they usually

have very uneven bottoms. Never use plastic containers.

•Do not place unstable or deformed

pots on the hotplates because they could tip over or spill their contents and thus cause accidents.

•Pots must not enter the control zone.

•Make sure boiling liquids do not spill onto the hotplates.
