Zanussi ZCE 611 - Manual (Page 6)

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
l
They should be fairly heavy duty
l
They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
l
They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate
control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish cooking, and the final stage will be
completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly,
stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans cook
at lower temperature which is more economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids
being spilt onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them
or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric
plate. Always point pan handles inward or over the
work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally
knocking over a pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Zanussi Service Centre.
