• Use flat and thick bottomed pans.
• Never use pans which are smaller than the electric element.
• Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the electric element.
• When cooking with flammable oils and fats, never leave the
appliance.

touch them or place any objects on them.
• If any dents appear in the electric element surface, switch it off
immediately and contact the nearest authorised servicing centre.
