• 1.

    Never operate the cooking zone without saucepans or pans on.

  • 2.

    Always position saucepans or pans over the centre of the cooking zone and turn the handles to a safe position so they can’t be knocked off.

  • 3.

    Only use flat saucepans or pans with a sufficiently thick base.

  • 4.

    If possible, always place a lid on the saucepan.

  • 5.

    Ensure the base of the saucepan or pan is dry before placing onto the cooking zone.

  • 6.

    To conserve energy, never use a saucepan or pan which is smaller than the selected cooking zone.

  • 7.

    Do not use saucepans or pans with a damaged base, as this can scratch the cooking zone surface.
