hints and tips
Cookware
. Use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottomed pans that are the same diameter as the
element. This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking
times.
. Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enameled cast iron base will
give you the best results.
. ever use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob.
. Aluminium and copper bottomed cookware can cause a metallic residue to remain
on the hob. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the hob after every use.
Energy saving
. Using a lid will reduce cooking times.
. When liquid comes to the boil reduce the temperature setting.
. Place a pan on the element prior to turning on the heat, to retain the heat.
. Choose cookware of the proper size, material and construction as indicated
above.
. Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
. Use residual heat retained in the glass after the element is turned off to continue
the cooking process or to keep foods warm.
. Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking task.

hints and tips
Cleaning tips
. Do not use abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects
to clean the surfaces of the hob.
. To remove burnt food, soak it off with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid.
. You may use a scraper purchased from your local market for cleaning food or
residues. Sticky foods must be cleaned immediately when they spill, before the
glass has time to cool down.
. Be careful not to scratch the silicon adhesive placed on the edges of the glass
whilst using a scraper.
. The scraper has a razor, therefore, it must be kept away from children.
