Each induction cooking zone has a pot de-

For this reason, you should choose the
cooking zone which is most suitable for the
diameter of the cookware you are going to
use.
If the symbol «
0 4
» appears on the co

• The cookware used is not suitable for
induction cooking.
• The cookware diameter is smaller than the
one allowed by the hob.
• No cookware is on the cooking zone.

appliance is switched off and will only switch
off when the burn risk in no longer present.
