USE
Please note!
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can
interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, causing the
appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking
and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or
boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
• The diameter of a pan must be at least 11 cm (for a cooking zone
of Ø 160 mm) and 14.5 cm (for a cooking zone of Ø 200 mm).
The best results are achieved by using a pan with the same
diameter as the cooking zone. If a pan is too small the zone will not
work.
Pressure cookers
• Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers. The fast-
reacting cooking zone brings the pressure cooker to pressure
quickly. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the cooking
process stops immediately.
The power level adjusts itself
• In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan in placed
is used. If you use a small pan on a large zone, the power will be
adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The power will thus be lower
and it will take longer before the food in the pan comes to the boil.
Switching of the power
A feature of this induction hob is the ‘switching’ of the power with
settings lower than 8. It seems as if a cooking zone switches on and
off, but that is not the case. The zone switches the power on and off
continuously; the zone remains on and at the indicated setting. The two
small zones switch to a lesser degree than the two large zones.
Please note
This switching is normal for this induction hob and cannot do any
damage. It is not a defect of your induction hob.
