The particularly powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the amount of time taken for the zones to heat up. · Cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass cooking surface is its easy cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see section: "Cleaning and care"). · Double-ring cooking zone: The cooking surface possesses a doublering cooking zone. This provides the appliance with a cooking zone with a variable size, for instance for smaller pots. · Frying zone: The hob has a special frying zone. This can be set to either the round or the oval shape, for example when using a fryer. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across the surface. · When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex). · If you wish to use special types of pan (e. g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc. ), please observe the manufacturer's instructions. 2 Energy saving tips You can save valuable energy by observing the following points: · Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone. · Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power consumption. · Whenever possible always position the lids firmly on pots and pans to cover completely. · Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat such as to keep foods warm or for melting. · The base of the pan should be the same size as the cooking zone. · Using a pressure cooker reduces cooking times by up to 50%. 38 Settings for Cooking on the Rings The setting position required for cooking processes is dependent on the quality of the pots and on the type and amount of the food.
