USING THE HOB
detect, especially small pans (e.g. milk
pans). We recommend that you buy pans
that are marked/advertised as being suit-
able for induction.
This problem is not with induction hob
but with the pan type, they can have
bases which are magnetic but are not
thick enough! If you experience problems
with small pans we recommend that you
try a larger pan or a pan of a different
construction. Solid cast iron pans give the
best performance.

Cookware made of enamelled steel or
with aluminium or copper bottoms can
leave discolorations on the ceramic glass
surface which are difficult or impossible to
remove.
Pans unsuitable for Induction:
Pans made of copper, stainless steel, alu-
minium, oven proof glass, wood, ceramic
and terra-cotta.
Overheat Pan Protection
The hob is equipped with additional safety
systems that help to prevent cookware
from overheating, providing an additional
level of safety not available on conven-
tional hobs such as gas and ceramic hobs.
Helps reduce the risk of fire through mis
-
use use of hob.
If there is an overheat situation the hob
will display the appropriate code detailed
in the “hob status codes table”.

Note:
The safety temperature control of the
pans is only possible with quality flat bot
-
tomed pans suitable for induction cook-
ing; Poor quality pans can create air gaps
between the glass and the pan, which
affects the accuracy of the temperature
control.
Residual Heat Indicators
If glass surface is above 65
o
C when the
cook zone is switched off an “H “will be
displayed in the cook zone display until
the glass surface drops below approxi-
mately 63
o
C.
This feature not only warns you against
hot surfaces but also indicates that there
is residual heat which can be used as
temporary warm zone.
Note:
The cook zone itself does not heat up, but
the ceramic glass does get hot because
of the hot pan conducting heat back onto
the hob glass.
Auto Stand by
The Hob will automatically switch off if
left (with pan) on for an extended period
of time, see maximum running times
below.
