[. . . ] It takes longer to heat a pan with a base which curves in or outwards too much. When you are buying new pans, it is advisable to choose stainless steel ones with sandwich-type bases (i. e. layers of different metals). Save energy! · Putting a lid on pans cuts the amount of energy used by half (compared to cooking without lids). · Using pans with flat bases saves 25% energy (compared to uneven based pans). · Make sure the hob is clean and dry. Dirt and moisture reduce heat transfer between pans and hotplates. · Turn the hotplates off and finish cooking using the remaining heat. · Save energy by steaming and pressure-cooking. 10 The ceramic hob Cleaning the ceramic hob Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages immediately, while the hob is still hot, especially sugar and foods with a high sugar content (e. g. jam), melted plastics and foil, all of which can damage the hob if left. IF THE HOB IS VERY SOILED: 1 Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper (see below). 2 Use the hob cleaner supplied when the hot-hob warning lights have all gone out. Shake the bottle and apply a small quantity of cleaner directly onto the hob. Rub clean using a damp cloth or paper towels. 3 Use a damp cloth to remove all remaining traces of the cleaner, which could otherwise burn on when the hob is next used. Wipe the hob dry. The razor blade scraper: Use the razor blade scraper carefully. The razor blade is extremely sharp. KEEP THE SCRAPER AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob. You will have to turn the razor blade round before using it for the first time since it has been reversed for transport safety reasons. There is a protective cover for the sharp razor blade when the scraper is not being used. 1 Press down the button on the top of the scraper and push it forwards as far as it will go (see illustration). Replace the blade with the sharp edge outwards. 3 "Lock" the blade with the tabs on the scraper (see illustration). 4 Press the button down hard and push it backwards as far as it will go. 11 The ceramic hob TO USE THE SCRAPER, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 1 Expose the razor blade by pushing the button (on the 2 3 4 5 top of the scraper) forwards to "stop" (see illustration). You can check the razor blade is locked into position by pushing the blade down onto a hard surface. [. . . ] This appliance conforms with EC-directive 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC.
