Using the electric hob

Practical advice on using the electric

hotplates

To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use

pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less

than that of the hotplate itself.

! Before using the hotplates for the first time, you

should heat them at maximum temperature for

approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans

on them. During this initial stage, their protective

coating hardens and reaches its maximum

resistance.

Practical advice on using the hob

• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that

they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large

enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use

all the heat produced.

• Always make sure that the base of the pan is

completely clean and dry: this ensures that the

pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and

that both the pans and the hob remain effective

for a longer period of time.

• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on

gas burners: the heat concentration on gas

burners may have warped the base of the pan,

causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.

• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a

pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone

to become damaged.
