HOW TO OPERATE THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB
HOB COOKWARE ADVICE
• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and
thick bases : using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots
that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide
an even distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling
pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the
refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry
before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely
cover the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no smaller
than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be
used at its maximum efficiency.
THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE - The following information will
help you to choose cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel :
highly recommended.
Especially good with a
sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits
of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat
distribution).
Aluminium :
heavy weight recommended.
Good conductivity.
Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob,
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be
used.
Cast Iron :
usable, but not recommended.
Poor performance.
May scratch the surface.
Copper Bottom / stoneware:
heavy weight recommended.
Good
performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear
as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob
is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated
copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.
Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth,
flat base.
Glass-ceramic :
not recommended.
Poor performance. May
scratch the surface.
Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best
performance from your hob.
