OPERATION
Operation
The cooking elements are made of cast iron. The heat is produced
by filaments that are ring wise positioned in the element. The heat
is transferred to the bottom of the pan by direct conduction. Each
element is set in a stainless steel locking rim. When one or more
elements are being used the indicator lamp on the control panel is on.
Switching on and off the hob
The first time you use the hob, first switch on all of the elements in the
highest setting for 3 to 4 minutes without pans.
A special rust-resistant coating will be burnt off. This may result in an
unpleasant odour. This is normal.

this is quicker and less expensive. The hot plate remains warm
for some time after it has been switched off. Make use of this
extra heat in preparing your meals.

OPERATION
Pans
For proper heat conduction, it is important that:
• the pan has a solid, flat bottom;
• the bottom of the pan is dry. Moisture on the cooking surface
may cause rust;
• the diameter of the pan is slightly larger than the diameter of the
hot plate. Pans that are too small result in uneven distribution of
the heat through the hot plate. As a result, the plate may become
distorted or may even break. What is more: if a pan boils over,
it will spill onto the cooking plate. In addition, the handles may
wrong
become too hot and a lot of energy is lost.
