Notes
: Product diagrams in the manual for reference only, there might be slightly difference due to
continually product improvement
Before using your new induction cooktop
•
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•
Remove any protective film that may still be on your new electric hob.
Using the Touch Controls
•
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
•
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•
You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
•
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering
them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate
.
Choose the right Cookware
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
•
You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the
base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction hob.
•
If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and
water is heating, the pan is suitable.
•
Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable for an induction hob: pure stainless steel,
aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
•
Induction cooktops are made from smooth, ceramic glass, the heat comes from a magnetic induction coil
which heats the cookware but not the cooking surface. The heat from the cookware is transferr
ed to the
food.
•
It’s important that you use only metal pans specifically designed and/or approved for use on induction hobs.
Never allow melamine or plastic containers to come in contact with the heat zones.
12
•
A pan which diameter less than 140mm may not be detected by the induction hob. Do not use cookware
with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking
zone. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Always center your pan on the cooking
zone.
Always lift pans off the hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Notes: You can use any kind of pot or pan for Induction Hob
.
Suggested pan dimensions for induction hob
The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However, the bottom of
this pan is suggested to have a minimum diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the
best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the center of the cooking zone. Base diameter of the pots:
