Cookware
Use flat-bottomed cookware that completely
contacts the entire cooking zone. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware. Be sure to
follow all the recommendations for using
cookware.
•
Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking.
•
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution. This
gives best cooking results.
•
Match the cookware size to the quantity of food being prepared.
•
Do not let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form
of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic hob. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).
•
Do not use dirty cookware or cookware with heavy grease buildup. Always
use cookware that is easy to clean after cooking.
CAUTION
•
The cooking zones may appear cooled down after they have been turned off.
However, the glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the
cookware. The risk of burns is still present.
•
Do not touch hot cookware directly with your hands. Always use oven mitts or
pot holders to protect your hands from burns.
•
Do not slide cookware across the hob surface. Doing so may permanently
damage the hob.
Residual heat indicator
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual
heat is shown with an
,
(for “hot”) in the corresponding cooking zone display.
Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator
goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
WARNING
As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
WARNING
If the power supply is interrupted, the
,
symbol will go out and information
about residual heat will no longer be available.
However, it may still be possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always
taking care when near the hob.
Temperature detection
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the
safety levels, the cooking zone will automatically reduce to a lower power level.
When you have finished using the hob, the cooling fan will continue to run until
the hob’s electronics has cooled down. And the cooling fan switches itself off
depending upon the temperature of the electronics.
