· Rapid cooling

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.
