[. . . ] · Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the glass ceramic surface, which is very difficult or impossible to remove. · Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base. 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. 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%. 87 Operating Instructions Charts 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.
