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 pans
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.
