12. 3 zone induction hotplate
(110/i & 170/i models only)
The induction hobs works independent of the AGA hotplate
and ovens. The entire induction hob functions are accessed
via the touch pads built into the ceramic surface of the
induction hotplate.
Pans
It is important to use pans that are specifically recommended
for induction cooking. Generally stainless steel, special pans
with stainless steel bases, enamelled steel, or cast iron pans
with flat enamelled bases are suitable. It should be noted that
some grades of stainless steel pans may not function or may
be slow to heat.
All copper and all aluminium constructed pans or ceramic
pans, will not work on an induction hob. If you are unsure
of a pan, try a quick test using a magnet on the pan base
). A strong attraction between magnet and pan,
will normally indicate a suitable pan. Weak or no attraction
usually indicates a pan that is not suitable. Do not forget to
remove the magnet before using the pan on the hob.
Use pans that are the same size or slightly larger than the
marked area. Smaller pans will take longer to heat. Using a
pan with a lid will help pan contents boil more quickly.
Ideally pans should have near flat bottoms to maximise
induction efficiency.
Most types of pans will generate a faint audible sound during
the cooking process and this is perfectly normal. The level of
sound will vary depending on the type and style of pan used.
AGA accessories can be viewed at your local AGA specialist or
online at www.agacookshop.co.uk.
Pan Detection
When the power is on and a power level is selected, the pan
detection will be automatic whenever the pan is placed
within or removed from the cooking zone on the hob. (See
for defined pan area and pan location).
