Operation Manual

Hotplate may be damaged:

• if it is left in operation without any cookware being placed on

top, or if covered with empty cookware;

• if improper cookware is used: unevenly ﬂ at bottom or small

diameter (traditional Turkish coffee kettle).

• the use of terra-cotta (clay) cookware is likely to produce

scratches upon the ceramic-glass surface.

• Before placing any cookware upon the cooktop thoroughly

wipe the bottom dry, thereby improving the heat conduction

and protecting the hotplate from damage

• The inside bottom of the cookware should be slightly concave

for optimum heat transfer.

• Diameter of the cookware bottom should always match the

diameter of the hotplate. If the pot is too small it may cause

loss of energy and damage the hotplate.

• Whenever possible use the cookware lid to cover the pot.

• The size of the cookware should ﬁ t the quantity of food to be

prepared. Cooking small quantities of food in large pots results

in the loss of energy.

• Food requiring long preparation should be cooked in the

pressure cooker.

• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc. may be boiled in reduced

quantity of water. This way food is cooked faster, provided the

lid is tightly closed. Once the boiling point is reached, reduce

the cooking power and select the slow cooking level.
