How to Use the Hob The ceramic surface of the hob allows fast transmission of heat vertically from the heating elements under the glass to the pans on the hob top. The heat does not spread horizontally, so the hob top remains relatively cool only a few centimetres from the zone in use.

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 appropriate zones depending on the sizes of the pans. The most efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pans 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.
Choose pans which are between the sizes recommended in the table above, and with bases that are as non-reflective as possible, e.g. dull and dark. Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used. Pans with aluminium bases may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob. Glassware and pans with rough circular machined bases should not be used Care and Maintenance Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before undertaking any cleaning or maintenance.
