Other suitable cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware especially made for
induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
Unsuitable pans
Never use pans made from:
■
common thin steel
■
glass
■
earthenware
■
copper
■
aluminium
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of
the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help
diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute
heat uniformly, saving time and energy.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of
unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level
displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable
pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than
90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The
hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an
empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch
off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach
very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and
damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the
pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which
varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You
should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the
diameter of your pan.
Automatic detection on double or triple hotplates
These hotplates can detect cookware of different sizes.
Depending on the material and properties of the cookware, the
hotplate will adapt automatically, switching on part or all of the
hotplate and supplying sufficient power to obtain good cooking
results.
Familiarise yourself with the appliance
These instructions for use are applicable to other hobs. On
page 2
an overview of the models is provided, along with
information on measurements.
The control panel
When using large cookware on a
smaller ferromagnetic zone, only
the ferromagnetic zone heats up,
so heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Cookware with aluminium on the
base reduce the ferromagnetic
zone, so less heat may be sup-
plied or be difficult to detect.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's ferro-
magnetic area should match the
size of the hotplate. If cookware
is not detected on a hotplate, try
it on the next smaller hotplate
down.
