COOKING UTENSILS
To achieve best results when using your new Scala Cooktop, it is important that your
saucepans are flat-based. You can check this by holding a ruler across the bottom of
the pan.
If a gap of more than 1mm appears between the ruler and the base of the saucepan
the pan is unsuitable for use. If it is either concave, or convex the pan will not make
adequate surface contact with the cooktop, resulting in slow, ineffective cooking.
When selecting a saucepan, use one which is the same size or slightly larger than the
element.
