General information
•The base should always be clean and dry.
•In order to avoid scratches on the ceramic glass cooking surface, do not slide pots and pans around but lift them up instead when changing positions.
•Severe scratches may weaken the glass.
•Scratches can result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing out vegetables) which are dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.
•Always use large pots for dishes with lots of liquid so that nothing can boil over.
Energy saving
You will save valuable energy by observing the following points:
•Always position pots and pans before you switch on the cooking zone.
•Dirty cooking zones and pot bases increase power consumption.
•Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed on the pots and pans so that they are completely covered.
•Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat for keeping foods warm or for melting purposes.
•The base of the pot should have the same size as the cooking zone.
•Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking times by up to 50%.
