Induction care
• IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PACEMAKER AND
IMPLANTED INSULIN PUMP USERS:
The functions
of this hob comply with the applicable European
standards on electromagnetic interference. If you are
fitted with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and
are concerned please consult your doctor for medical
advice.
•
When the hob is in use keep magnetic items away, such
as credit and debit cards, floppy disk, calculators, etc.
• To fully utilise the power of your induction hob and
to ensure longevity of performance, we recommend
the use of AGA Rangemaster Induction Pots and
Pans. If you decide to purchase an alternative set
of pans for use on your induction cooker, we would
strongly recommend that composite aluminium
pans with steel inserts, example shown Fig. 1.1,
are avoided. This type of pan construction can
significantly reduce the lifetime and performance of
your induction cook top.
•
Take care when touching the marked cooking areas of
the hob.
•
Use adequately sized pans with flat bottoms that are
large enough to cover the surface of the hotplate
heating area. The use of undersized pans will expose a
portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in the ignition of clothing.
•
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for use on the
warming zone; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
•
Only certain types stainless steel, enamelled steel pans
or cast iron pans with enamelled bases are suitable for
induction hob cooking.
•
Take care
NOT
to scratch the surface when placing
cookware on the glass panel.
•
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate
cooking; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
NEVER
cook directly on the hob
surface (
Fig. 1.2
).
• DO NOT
leave the hob zones switched on unless being
used for cooking.
• DO NOT
stand or rest heavy objects on the hob.
Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp
blow or sharp falling object (e.g. a salt cellar) might
cause the surface to crack or break (
Fig. 1.3
).
•
Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for
its repair.
• ALWAYS LIFT
pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches
