Always dry pots and pans before placing them on the ceramic glass plate. The coloured décor on the ceramic glass plate can become worn and scratched in time after it has been used. The heating zones The knobs for the heating zones are marked from 0 to 12, where 12 provides the highest heat. The knobs can be turned both clockwise and anti-clockwise. THIS IS HOW TO USE THE CERAMIC GLASS PLATE: 1 Select a position on the knob for the zone that you have selected. 2 Zero the knob after use. You must experiment to find the setting and the heating zone that suits you and your pans, depending on what food you are preparing. Here is a little guidance (to the right heating setting): 17 Choice of pan/frying pan A cooker with a ceramic glass plate demands more from your pots and pans than a cooker with heating plates. Remember the following: · Check the bottom of the pan. Pans with a convex bottom (bulging outwards) tend to swivel on the ceramic glass plate and provide poor heating contact. Aluminium has good heat conductivity, but can leave silvery marks on the plate. Casseroles and pots that are made of glass or are enamelled with coarse patterns cause wear to the plate if they are pulled backwards and forwards, more so than pots and pans made of other materials. · · In order to save both time and energy the bottom of a pan/frying-pan must · cover the zone completely. If the bottom is too small, then boil-over can easily stick to the plate. If the bottom bulges too much outwards or inwards, heating-up times become longer. When you buy new pans, it is advisable to choose a stainless steel model with a sandwich bottom, that is to say a bottom consisting of layers of different metals. but become flat when they are heated up. 18 Save energy! · Use a lid and you halve the energy requirements (compared with cooking without a lid). Use pans with flat bottoms and save 25% energy (compared with uneven bottoms). Make sure that the ceramic glass plate is clean and dry. Dirt and liquids impair heat transfer between the pan and the heating zone. Switch off the heating zone and let the food finish cooking on the residual heat. Steaming and pressure cooking also save energy. · · · · 19 Using the oven It is normal for steam and condensation to form on the oven door. This condensation is from the food being cooked and does not influence safety or oven function. The oven is fitted with removable shelf rails with five recesses The oven functions For all functions, the yellow control lamp on the control panel lights up during heating up and goes out when the selected temperature is reached (it lights up and goes out when the thermostat switches on and off). To select an oven function, turn the function knob to the symbol for the desired function (see below).
