Efficient Use of your Hob

The hob is equipped with zones of different sizes, designed to accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate zone depending on the size of the pan. The most efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pan and zone are correctly chosen.

Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your appliance.

To reduce the cooking time, set the control knob to its maximum position when you first switch the plate on. Once the zone has reached its temperature, then turn the control knob to the required position.

As the zone will remain hot for a period of time after it has been switched off, five to ten minutes before the planned end of cooking time, turn the zone off. The residual heat in the hob will be sufficient to finish the cooking.

It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable material and have the correct type of base. The base should be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base could scratch the ceramic hob top.

Choose pans which are between the sizes recommended in the table above, and with bases that are as non-reflective as possible, e.g. dull and dark.

Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.

Pans with aluminium bases may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob. Glassware and pans with rough circulare machined bases should not be used
