Efficient Use of your Hob
The hob is equipped with zones of different sizes, designed to accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best
results, only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate zones depending on the size of the pan. The most
efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pan and zones are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your appliance.
Turn off each zone a few minutes before the end of cooking time. The residual heat in the zones will continue to cook the
food for the remaining cooking time.
It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable material and have the correct type of base. The
base should be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base could scratch the ceramic hob top.
Choose pans which are between the sizes recommended in the table above, and with bases that are as non-reflective as pos-
sible, e.g. dull and dark.
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
