Operation
Using suitable induction cookware
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking
if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the
cookware and the cookware is labelled as
suitable by the cookware manufacturer.
Better pans produce better results
•
You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base should be as
thick and flat as possible.
•
When buying new pots or pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the
base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
•
Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. You
can scratch the ceramic cooktop permanently if you slide a pot or pan with a
damaged base across the surface.
•
When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They
should never be bowed outwards (convex).
•
If you want to use a special type of pot or pan, for example, a pressure cooker,
a simmering pan, or a wok, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing
the following points:
•
Always position pots and pans before
switching on the cooking zone.
•
Dirty cooking zones and pan bases
increase power consumption.
•
When possible, position lids firmly on
pots and pans so that the lids cover
them completely.
•
Switch the cooking zones off before the
end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to keep food warm.

Temperature detection
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones exceeds the safety
level, then the cooking zone will automatically reduce the heat to a lower power
level.
When you have finished using the cooktop, the cooling fan will continue to run
until the cooktop’s electronics have cooled down. The cooling fan switches itself on
and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.
NOTE
If the induction cooktop overheats because of abnormal operation, will be
displayed and the induction cooktop will turn off.
