OPERATING YOUR COOKTOP
Choose the Right Cookware (Induction Models)
• 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 hob.
• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and water is heating, the pan is suitable.
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable for an
induction cooktop: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a
magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
• Induction cooktops are made from smooth, ceramic glass, the heat comes
from a magnetic induction coil which heats the cookware but not the
cooking surface. The heat from the cookware is transferred to the food.
• It’s important that you use only metal pans specifically designed and/or
approved for use on induction hobs. Never allow melamine or plastic
containers to come in contact with the heat zones.
• A pan which diameter less than 140mm may not be detected by the
induction hob.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
