The Cooktop

When you cook on a electric cooktop its very

important to use the right sort of pans...

1

Use only pans that are suitable for electric cooktops. We recommend stainless steel and enameled steel pans because pots and pans with copper or aluminum bases leave traces on the cooktop that are difficult to remove. Glass-ceramic cookware and stoneware are not suitable because of their poor conductivity.

2

Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms. This ensures that there is the maximum heat transfer from the cooktop to the pan, making cooking quick and energy efficient.

Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand.

3

The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved in when cold. If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface.

Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the cooktop panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits (such as lime specks).

4

Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the cooktop top. Using smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.

5

Always lift pans off the cooktop. Sliding pans may cause marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the off position before removing a pan.

6

There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas. These come on when a cooktop control is turned on and stay lit while the surface cools.

Always take care before touching the surface even when it is turned off - it may be hotter than you think.

7

The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the diagram above.

8

On the left of the cooktop is a dual purpose area. The inner ring marks out a 1200W cooktop area, the outer line marks the extent of the Warmer. Push in and turn the control to the first (Warmer) position to heat the whole area to a low temperature. Use the Warmer for keeping food warm while the final touches are put to a meal. For best results, pre- heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it.

For best results, pre-heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it.

Use only heat resistant dishes.

Turn it further to use the inner ring as a normal cooktop plate.
