Checking pans using a magnet
To find out whether the pans are suitable, check
that they are attracted to a magnet.
The manufacturer will usually indicate if their pans
are suitable for induction cooking.
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.
