RESIDUAL HEAT
WARNING! There is a risk of burns
from residual heat.
The induction cooking zones produce the heat
necessary for the cooking process directly in the
bottom of the cookware. The glass ceramic is
heated by the heat of the cookware.
DAILY USE
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
THE HEAT SETTING
To set or change the heat setting turn the knob to
the correct heat setting. To deactivate turn the knob
to off position.
Power indicator activates when one or more
cooking zones are activated. When you deactivate
the cooking zones the indicator deactivates.
HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
COOKWARE
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat
in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct
marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of
the bottom of the cookware automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a
part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
THE NOISES DURING OPERATION
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a
high power level and the cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
EXAMPLES OF COOKING APPLICATIONS
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone
and its consumption of power is not linear. When
you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional
to the increase of the consumption of power. It
means that a cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.
