Before using the Hob
•
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic hob.
Touch controls
Use the flat of your finger, not the tip. The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any
pressure. The touch control keys take approximately 1 second to respond to your touch. lways ensure
the touch control area is clean, dry and free from any objects (e.g. utensils, tea towels and cloths),
spillages, water and no strong lights shining on the hob controls when turning the hob on as it may
make the controls difficult to operate. A beeping sound will be activated and will keep on beeping every
10 seconds, to attract your attention, please remove any objects and clean the area as appropriate.
Choosing the right Cookware
•
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
•
You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet
towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction. The base of the pan
must be magnetic across the whole diameter of the base.
•
If you do not have a magnet:
1. Place the pan on a cooking zone, turn the zone on and select a power level.
2. If
does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable
•
Cookware made from the following materials are not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or
copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
