MENU SYSTEM
The loss of energy from torched cookware is much more serious. If a pot or pan overheats, i.e. is brought to a
high temperature when empty, the properties of the material will be altered and its ability to absorb
inductive energy will be reduced. Overheating often causes the base of the cookware to warp, so it no longer
lies flat on the glass ceramic.
If cookware with an attached base is overheated, the conductance of heat between the base and the pan
may be considerably reduced through warping of the base and the formation of air cushions in between.
Extreme heat may cause the base to be completely detached. There may be damage from overheating even
if the cookware is not visibly discoloured.
Never use cookware that shows signs of discolouration and buckling on the base by overheating; dispose of it
instead.

CORRECT SHAPE AND SIZE
Induction hobs are designed for a particular range of pot and pan sizes with which they function efficiently
and well. Cookware that is much too small being used on a large hob may not be detected by the automatic
pan recognition, and the energy supply may stay switched off. Cookware that is much too large cannot
absorb energy from the whole base area, so it will take longer to heat up and may not reach the desired
temperature. Square and oval cookware can be easily heated on specially designed hobs. If they are heated
on round hobs of insufficient size, the base will not heat up evenly.

MOUNTING
Counter-top appliances with an unladen weight of < 18 kg must be installed with the mounting bracket.
When the bracket is installed properly it will prevent the appliance from falling and reduce the potential risk
of accident.
1.
Unscrew the rear levelling foot
2.
Position the mounting bracket on the levelling foot, screw in and tighten the nut
3.
The bracket is to be installed by the customer and is not included in delivery.
