Cookware
Appliances of this type require special pans to be able to work.
In fact, the pan must have an iron bottom to generate the magnetic field necessary for it to be heated
up.
Recipients made of the following are not suitable:
1 glass;
2 ceramics;
3 earthenware;
4 steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom.
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is
suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the
recipient, place it on a cooking zone and start the hotplate. If the power symbol on the display starts to
flash, it means that the pan you are using is not suitable for your appliance.
The pans used for cooking must have a minimum diameter to guarantee proper functioning.
Metal objects such as cutlery or lids must not be left on the hob as they risk being overheated without
the user realising it.
Each cooking zone has an inner circle. This printed circle indicates the minimum permissible diameter
on that cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating
the inductor.
Pans that are larger than the cooking zones can also be used, but care must be taken that the bottom
of the pan does not come into contact with other cooking zone and that it is always centred on the
cooking zone perimeter.
Use only recipients with a
perfectly flat bottom
and which are suitable for induction cooking or, if
pans of this type are not available, recipients whose
bottom is not crowned
(concave or convex).
Using a pan with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency of the heating system so that the
pan is not detected on the hotplate.
