to the burner.

Look at this diagram above which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should not be used.

•   ALWAYS use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste electricity and cook slowly.

•   ALWAYS use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste electricity.

•   ALWAYS put pots and pans which are dry on the hotplates.

•   DO NOT use pots and pans which are too large.  

Pans which overhang the hotplate more than 50mm can damage enamel cooktops.
