Look at this diagram above which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should not be used.

•ALWAYS use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste electricity and cook slowly.

•ALWAYS use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste electricity.

•ALWAYS put pots and pans which are dry on the hotplates.

•DO NOT use pots and pans which are too large.

Pans which overhang the hotplate more than 50mm can damage enamel cooktops.
