General information
• The base should always be clean and dry.
• In order to avoid scratches on the ceramic glass cooking surface, do not slide pots and
pans around but lift them up instead when changing positions.
• Severe scratches may weaken the glass.
• Scratches can result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing out vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.
• Always use large pots for dishes with lots of liquid so that nothing can boil over.
Energy saving
• Always position pots and pans before you switch on the cooking zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pot bases increase power consumption.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed on the pots and pans so that they
are completely covered.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat
for keeping foods warm or for melting purposes.
• The base of the pot should have the same size as the cooking zone.
• Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking times by up to 50%.
