Types of pans This type of appliance can only operate with pans of special kinds.
The bottom of the pan must be iron or steel/iron to generate the magnetic field
necessary for the heating process.
Vessels made from the following materials are not suitable:
glass;
porcelain;
pottery;
steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom;
To check that a pan is suitable, simply place a magnet close to its bottom:
if the magnet is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If no magnet is to
hand, put a little water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and switch it on. If the
symbol appears on the display instead of the power, the pan is not suitable.
The pans used for cooking must have certain minimum diameters to ensure
satisfactory operation.
Pans larger than the cooking zones can also be used, but it is important to ensure that
the bottom of the pan does not touch other cooking zones, and that it is always centred
over the perimeter of the cooking zone (Fig.30-31).
Fig 30 Fig 31
Use only vessels specially designed for induction cooking, with thick, completely flat
bottom; if these are not available, the pans used must not have crowned (concave or
convex) bottom (Fig.32).

Pan present device Each cooking zone is equipped with a "pan present" device, which ensures that
cooking cannot start unless a suitable pan is present on the cooking zone and properly
positioned.
If the user attempts to switch on the cooking zone with the pan not positioned properly
or with a pan which is not of suitable material, a few seconds after the zone is switched
on the symbol will appear to warn the user that an error has been made.
Residual heat Each cooking zone is equipped with a device which warns of residual heat. After any
cooking zone is switched off, a flashing ‘H’ may appear on the display. This warns that
the cooking zone concerned is stili very hot.
Locking-out the hob When not in use, the hob can be "locked out" to prevent children from accidentally
switching it on.
With the cooking zones off, turn the knobs of zones 1 and 2 to the left simultaneously
until ‘’L’’ appear on the power
display and then release the knobs.
To deactivate it, repeat the same procedure: the cooking zone displays will stop
displaying the ‘’L’’, indicating that the cooking zone lock-out function has been
deactivated.
