The base should be as thick and flat as possible. · Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim. · Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the ceramic glass 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. 2 Energy saving tips · Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone. · 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. 23 Advice on cooking with and without automatic warm up The automatic warm up function is suitable for: · dishes that start off cold, are heated up at high power and do not need to be continually watched when cooking on the selected heat setting, · dishes that are put in a hot frying pan.

General notes: · When cooking without the automatic warm up function, we recommend the use of a high heat setting to warm up the food (using the ) and then leave the dish to finish cooking at an appropriate lower heat setting. · Take special note of the results when you first use the appliance!You can then decide which heat setting is the best for "your dishes" in the "quantities you are accustomed to preparing" with "your pans".
