The Vitroceramic Zone - Candy TRIO 503/1 Notice D'emploi Et D'installation

ADVICES
The use of high quality utensils is important to obtain good cooking results :
• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit.
CHOOSING UTENSILS
The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good
performance.
Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The
sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and
stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat
distribution).
Aluminium : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used.
Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended. Good performance, but
copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a
residue that will permanently stain the hob.
Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thinly smooth, flat base.
THE ZONES
• highlight zone : it is operational within 3 seconds and is suitable for steady,
homogeneous and sustained cooking.
process. Modifications to the design of the hob have not affected the capacity of the glass
to withstand high temperatures, but they have improved controllability. With the "Sprinter"
facility, reduced cooking times of up to 15% can be achieved, depending upon the method
of cooking and the type of saucepans being used.
• halolight zone : it is a combination of halogen and high light. It is suitable for frying meat,
rapid boiling and intensive cooking where a high temperature is required for a very short
time. It is advisable not to stare directly at the halogen elements.

THE VITROCERAMIC ZONE

On the label, check the mark that shows if the pan is
compatible with the vitroceramic.
The glass-ceramic hob benefits from greater heat output which is
generated by the hilight cooking zones thereby accelerating the cooking
