Using the Touch Controls
•
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
•
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•
You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
•
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a
utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the
controls difficult to operate
.
Choosing the right Cookware
•
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. Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
