Practical Advice on Using the Griddle

Preheat the griddle by turning the knob to 12. Settings 1-8 are recommended for reheating food or for keeping it warm after it has been cooked. In general, cooking vegetables can cause stains which are difficult to remove.

For utilising both cooking areas.

For best performance, keep in mind the following:

•All types of casseroles can be used on the ceramic glass cooking surface. However, it is important that the bottom be perfectly flat. Casseroles with thicker bottoms distribute heat more evenly.

•Use cookware the diameter of which is at least as large as the cooking area so that all of the heat produced by the heating element is used.

•Make sure that the bottom of the pot is always dry and clean to insure good contact between the cookware and the cooking surface. This will also increase the life of the pots and of the ceramic glass surface as well.

•Do not use the same cookware that you use for gas burners because the concentrated heat they produce can deform the bottom of the pot. Therefore, you will not achieve best results when using these pots on the ceramic glass surface.

Notice: The glue used to seal the glass surface may leave traces on the appliance. We recommend that the module be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner before being used the first time. During the first few hours of use, you may detect the smell of rubber; this will disappear after a short time.
