-

 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.

 

-

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 the water is heating, the pan is suitable.

 

-

Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or 
copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

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. Use pans that have a diameter as large as the graphic of the zone selected. 
Using a pot slightly wider, will mean energy is used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller 
pot the efficiency could be less than expected. A pot less than 140mm could be undetected by the 
hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone. 
 
 

Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide them or they may scratch the glass.

 
PA N   D I M E N S I O N S

The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.  
However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum diameter according to the corresponding 
cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the 
cooking zone.
