Suggestions for using the

hotplates effectively

To ensure maximum performance whem using electric hotplates, follow these gui- delines:

*Use pans with a flat base, as the greater the surface contact between the pan and the hotplate, the greater will be the heat transmission. We recommend the use of heavy pans so that the base is more difficult to dent. The picture shows how pans with battered or dented bases have less surface contact.

*Do not use pans with a diameter that is smaller than that of the hotplate, in order to avoid boiling foods spilling over onto the hotplates.

*Dry the bottom of your pans before put- ting them on the hotplates.

*When you are almost finished cooking, it is a good idea to set the hotplate to the minimum or to turn it off just before removing the pan, in order to make use of the energy that has been stored and to avoid the hotplate operating while it is empty.

NEVER USE ELECTRIC HOTPLATES WITHOUT A PAN.

Maintenance of the electric

hotplates (CG.1 3G 1P)

Disconnect the appliance from the electric mains before cleaning it.

The electric hotplates should be cleaned using soapy water and a non-abrasive scourer. If, after cooking, you notice that the electric hotplate’s stainless steel rim or the cooker’s surround are yellowing slightly, you can counter this by using lemon, vinegar, dilute amonia or any pro- duct containing dilute ammonia.

Do not clean the hotplates while they are still hot.

If liquids spill onto a hotplate, they should be quickly removed using a dry cloth. Never allow spills to burn on the hotplate, as the heat transmission will be signifi- cantly reduced.

After using the hotplate, it should be oiled so that the surface stays shiny and rusting is avoided.

Remember that the hotplate will have a longer life if moisture and excessive tem- peratures are avoided.

Steam-based appliances should not be used to clean the hob.

Cleaning and care

For best care of the glass, it should be cle- aned when it is cold, with suitable pro- ducts. It should be cleaned after each use, so that cleaning is easier and there is no build-up of dirt from repeated use.
