Fans may continue to operate after controls are switched to zero. This is normal.
Do not place aluminium foil or plastic vessels on hot ceramic surfaces. Do not use
the surfaces for storage.
Metallic objects should not be placed within the cooking zones as they will get hot.
Take care when operating the appliance as rings, watches or similar objects could
get hot in close proximity to the hob surfaces.
Only use pans of the size and type recommended in the pan selection notes.
Users with heart pacemakers should consult with their doctor or the manufacturer of
the pacemaker.
Induction cooking and pan selection
Induction cooking produces heat directly in the base of the pan. The system
comprises a ceramic glass hob with an induction coil beneath it. The coil generates
an alternating magnetic field. When a pan with a magnetic base is placed on the
cooking zone, eddy currents are produced in the base of the pan leading to the
production of heat. The pan heats extremely quickly.
The quality of the cookware is essential to the efficiency of induction cooking. The
base of the pan needs to be flat with good heat distribution.
Suitable pans are made from cast iron, enamelled steel and stainless steel with a
magnetic base. Unsuitable pans are glass, earthenware, aluminium, copper and
non-magnetic stainless steel.
Operation of the pan detection system is dependent on the size of the pan and its
material. Power from the induction coil to the pan will vary and is dependent on
size and pan material.
It is normal for induction generators to make buzzing, whistling and clicking noises,
especially on lower power settings.
Locate the pan concentrically over the ceramic glass target ring. If the inner ring of
the ceramic glass is visible around the pan, the pan is too small.
Recommended pan base diameter
– minimum of 120mm.
Nominal coil diameter
– 270mm.
Power level settings
Constantly variable power level settings are available via the rotary control knob,
