Induction cooking
Suitable pans
Unsuitable pans. Never use pans made from:
standard, high quality steel
glass
earthenware
copper
aluminum
Characteristics of the base of the pan
The characteristics of the base of the pan can affect the
evenness of the cooking.
Pans which are made from heat-diffusing materials ( such as
“sandwich” pans made from stainless steel) distribute the
heat evenly, saving time and energy.
No pan or incorrect size pan
If no pan is place on the hotplate, or the pan is not made of a
suitable material or it is not a suitable size, the heat setting
on the hotplate indicator will flash.
Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the indicator
flashing. If there is a delay of more than 90 seconds, the
hotplate switches off automatically.
Empty pans or pans with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans and do not use pans with thin
bases. Although your hob is equipped with an internal safety
system, empty cookware can heat up so quickly that the
“automatic OFF” function does not have time to react and a
very high temperature may be reached. The base of the pan
could melt and damage the hob’s glass surface. If this
happens, do not touch the pan and switch off the hotplate. If
it does not work after cooling, contact our Local Service
Center or dealer.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a minimum limit for pan detection which
varies according to the material from which the pan being
used is made. It is for this reason you are recommended to
use a hotplate which matches the diameter of the pan.
