Hotplate may be damaged:
• if it is left in operation without any cookware being placed on
top, or if covered with empty cookware;
• if improper cookware is used: unevenly fl at bottom or small
diameter (traditional Turkish coffee kettle).
• the use of terra-cotta (clay) cookware is likely to produce
scratches upon the ceramic-glass surface.
• Before placing any cookware upon the cooktop thoroughly
wipe the bottom dry, thereby improving the heat conduction
and protecting the hotplate from damage
• The inside bottom of the cookware should be slightly concave
for optimum heat transfer.
• Diameter of the cookware bottom should always match the
diameter of the hotplate. If the pot is too small it may cause
loss of energy and damage the hotplate.
• Whenever possible use the cookware lid to cover the pot.
• The size of the cookware should fi t the quantity of food to be
prepared. Cooking small quantities of food in large pots results
in the loss of energy.
• Food requiring long preparation should be cooked in the
pressure cooker.
• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc. may be boiled in reduced
quantity of water. This way food is cooked faster, provided the
lid is tightly closed. Once the boiling point is reached, reduce
the cooking power and select the slow cooking level.
