Energy saving tips ­ Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. uncovered cold hot covered ­ Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily. Please note that the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important. ­ When cooking for a long time, switch the cooking zone off about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. In this way use is made of the residual heat. too small suitable 22 Safety features Safety lock Keep children away from the hob for their own safety.

An internal temperature limiter switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats. Once the ceramic has cooled down to a safe level the heating will automatically switch back on again. Overheating can be caused by: ­ switching on a cooking zone without a pan on it. You can tell that the overheating protection has activated because the heating switches on and off even when the highest setting is selected. 25 Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
