Using Your Induction Hob
Incompatible pans
Glass, ceramic or earthenware pans, aluminium pans
(unless they have a special base), copper pans, some non-
magnetic steel pans.
The pan test
Because of its leading-edge technology, your induction hob is
able to “recognise” most pans.
Place your pan on a heating zone on power setting
4
;
• If the indicator stays fixed, your pan is compatible.
• If the indicator flashes, the pan cannot be used for
induction cooking.
Switching on
Look for the controls which correspond to the zone where
you have put your pan.
• Press the key.
The power indicator shows
0
, next to all of the heating
zone selectors and the hob is switched on.
• Use the heating zone selectors to choose which zone you
wish to use. Ensure that your pans are in place first.
• Adjust the heating power you want using the
+
and
-
key.
After you have pressed the on/off control key, if you
do not touch any sensor within 10 seconds, the
instruction will be automatically cancelled.
• Adjust the power during cooking.
You can adjust the heating power from
1
to
9
at any
time during cooking using the
+
and
-
keys.
Turning a heating zone off
There are two ways to switch off the Induction hob:
• Touch the ‘-’ sensor until the display shows ‘0’
• Touch the ‘+’ and ‘-’ sensors together.
Audio Warning
An audio signal sounds when your appliance detects a
problem on the control panel, such as:
An object (pan, cover, etc) placed on the control panel
for more than ten seconds.
A spill on the control panel
Prolonged pressure on the control panel.
The hob will also switch itself off.
To reset, simply touch the power on sensor.
Note:
Next to the power
indicator is a
‘.’
this will
flash when a zone has
not
been selected.
When the
‘.’
is static a
zone has been selected
and the power levels
can be adjusted.
You must make sure
you have selected a
zone before you start,
otherwise you cannot
make any adjustments.
i
Note:
The hob is equipped
with 2 or 4 residual
heat indicators.
The display shows ‘H’ if
the temperature of that
heating zone exceeds
60˚C.
This prevents the risk of
burning.
i
A small object - such as
a fork, a spoon or even
a ring - placed on a hob
cooking zone on its own
is not detected as a
pan.
The display flashes and
no heating power is
supplied. The security
system acts in the same
way when it detects a
pan which is not suit-
able for use on an
induction hob.
