COOKWARE/COFFEE POT FOR INDUCTION COOKING
The induction cooking system OPERATES ONLY if using correct cookware suitable for
induction cooking (normally identified by an induction symbol on the bottom of the cookware/
coffee pot). The use of not suitable cookware may cause damage to the appliance.
The bottom of the pan/coffee pot has to be ferromagnetic to generate the electromagnetic
field necessary for the heating process (meaning a magnet has to stick to the bottom of the
pan/coffee pot).
Pans/coffee pots made from the following materials are not suitable:
•
glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware;
•
pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom.
To check if a pan/coffee pot is suitable or not:
•
Test the bottom of the pan/coffee pot with a magnet: if the magnet sticks, the pan is
suitable.
•
If a magnet is not available pour a small amount of water inside the pan/coffee pot
and place the pan on a cooking zone. Switch on the cooking zone: if the cooking
zone display shows alternately the set power level and “ ”, the pan/coffee pot is
not suitable (then after 1 minute, the zone will be switched off automatically and
“ ” - appears on the display - set the knob to “
0
”).
Important: Do not use pots/coffee pot adaptors; this could cause an overheating and
possible damage to the appliance.
Important note:
the cooking zones will not operate if the pan/coffee pot diameter is too
small. To correctly use the cooking zones follow the indications given in the following table.
Induction cooking zone
Minimum pan diameter recommended
(referred to the bottom of the pan/coffee pot)
Cooking zone Ø 145 mm
90 mm
Cooking zone Ø 210 mm
130 mm
IMPORTANT:
Some cookware available on the market is not of good quality or has an
effective ferromagnetic area which is much smaller than the diameter of the pan itself.
Avoid using this cookware because the induction cooktop may not function properly or may
be damaged.
Pay attention:
The pan/coffee pot shall always be centred over the middle of the cooking
zone.
Pay attention:
If using a grill pan do not select the maximum level for a too long time, the
pan may become deformed due to the excessive heat. Always use pans with thick bottom.
It is possible to use oversized pans/coffee pots but its bottom shall not touch the other
cooking zone.
Always use pans/coffee pots with thick, completely flat bottom.
Do not use pans/coffee pots with concave or convex bottom; these could cause overheating
of the cooking zone.
Note:
Some types of pans/coffee pots could cause noise when used on an induction
cooking zone.
The noise does not mean any failure on the appliance and does not influence the cooking
operation.
