Use cookware made from materials which are
compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic
material). We especially recommend pans made from:
cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel
adapted for induction. Use a magnet to test the
compatibility of the cookware.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully
utilise the cooking zone.
Always use pans with a diameter which is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the available heat.
Make sure that the base of the cookware is always
clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the
life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
Avoid using the same cookware which has been
used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it
not to adhere correctly.

Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor
device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with
suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed
on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:
An incompatible pan
A pan whose diameter is too small
The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat
indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones
are still at a high temperature. If the power display
shows
, the cooking zone is still hot. It is possible,
for example, to keep a dish warm or melt butter or
chocolate. As the cooking zone cools, the power
display will show
. The display switches off when
the cooking zone has cooled sufficiently.

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically
switches the cooking zones off after they have been in
operation for a certain amount of time at a particular
power level. When the safety switch has been
triggered, the display shows

This can also indicate several irregularities:
An ob

ect (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on
the control panel for more than 10 seconds.
Something has been spilt on the control panel.
A button has been pressed for too long. All of the
above situations may cause the buzzer to sound.
Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the
buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed,
the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will
switch off.
