8. Induction Hob
The induction hobs works independent of the Stanley
hotplate and ovens. The entire induction hob functions are
accessed via the touch pads built into the ceramic surface of
the induction hotplate.
Pans
It is important to use pans that are specifically recommended
for induction cooking. Generally stainless steel, special pans
with stainless steel bases, enamelled steel, or cast iron pans
with flat enamelled bases are suitable. It should be noted that
some grades of stainless steel pans may not function or may
be slow to heat.
All copper and all aluminium constructed pans or ceramic
pans, will not work on an induction hob. If you are unsure
of a pan, try a quick test using a magnet on the pan base
(
Fig. 8.2
). A strong attraction between magnet and pan,
will normally indicate a suitable pan. Weak or no attraction
usually indicates a pan that is not suitable.
DO NOT forget to
remove the magnet before using the pan on the hob.
Position the pans and centralise over the marked zone.
DO
NOT use oversize pans which overlap the controls and
display area,
180 mm pans are an ideal size. Using a pan
with a lid will help pan contents boil more quickly. Ideally
pans should have near flat bottoms to maximise induction
efficiency.
Error codes E2 and E6, displayed on your induction hob, can
be associated with use of poor quality cookware or cookware
not suitable for induction. Continued use may cause serious
damage to your induction hob.
Most types of pans will generate a faint audible sound during
the cooking process and this is perfectly normal. The level of
sound will vary depending on the type and style of pan used.
Accessories can be viewed at your local Stanley specialist or
