3.    Operation of Product                                                                                       

 

3.1    Touch Controls 

• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure. 
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip. 
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered. 
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. 

a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the 
controls difficult to operate. 

   
 
   
 
 
 
  

3.2 Choosing the right Cookware

                                         

 

• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction   

cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the   

packaging or on the bottom of the pan. 

• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out 

a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it   
is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction. 

• If you do not have a magnet: 
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check. 
2. Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’. 
3. If      does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable. 
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or 

copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
