Starting-up and appliance management
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing a blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a
variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom
plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be magnetic:
All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify by using a small magnet): cast
iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms.
Exclusions: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware.
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. If the diameter is too
small, the pan doesn‟t work. This diameter will vary the function of the heating zone
diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
