Induction Ready Cookware
POTS AND PANS
Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic
material which are suitable for use with induction
cooktop:
A. Enamelled steel
B. Cast iron
C. Stainless steel designed for induction cooking.
To determine whether a pot is suitable, a magnet may be used to
check whether pots are magnetic.
The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking
performance. Some indications for the diameter of the base
do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic
surface.
Some pots and pans have only a part of the bottom in
ferromagnetic material, with parts in another material that is not
suitable for induction cooking. These areas may heat up at
different levels or with lower temperatures. In certain cases, where
the bottom is made mainly of non-ferromagnetic materials, the
cooktop might not recognize the pan and therefore not switch on
the cooking zone.
To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with a
flat bottom that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is
uneven, this will affect power and heat conduction.
Empty pots or pots with a thin base
Do not use empty pots or pans when the cooktop is on.
Proper sizing of pot/pan base for the different cooking areas
To ensure that the cooktop functions properly, use pots of a
suitable minimum diameter.
Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the
minimum diameter of the bottom of the pot.
Place the pot making sure it is well centered on the cooking zone
in use. Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.

POWER MANAGEMENT
At the time of purchase, the cooktop is set to the maximum
possible power. Adjust the setting in relation to the limits of the
electrical system in your home as described in the following
paragraph.
NOTE:
Depending on the power selected for the cooktop, some
of the cooking zone power levels and functions (e.g. boil or quick
reheating) could be automatically limited, in order to prevent the
selected limit from being exceeded.
To set the power of the cooktop:
Once you have connected the device to the mains power supply,
you can set the power level within 60 seconds.
Press the timer “+” button for at least 5 seconds. The display
shows
Press the “OK” button until the last power level selected appears.
Use the “+” and “−” buttons to select the desired power level. The
power levels available are: 4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW.
Confirm by pressing “OK”.
The power level selected will stay in the memory even if the
power supply is interrupted.
To change the power level, turn your wall breaker power to the
cooktop off for at least 60 seconds, then turn the power back on
and repeat the steps above.
If an error occurs during the setting sequence, the symbol
will appear, and you will hear a beep. If this happens, repeat the
operation. If the error persists, contact the After-Sales Service.
