• What type of pans must I not use?
G
LASS, CERAMIC, EARTHENWARE, ALUMINIUM
WITHOUT A SPECIAL BASE, COPPER AND CERTAIN
NON-MAGNETIC STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE.
• The “cookware” test
Thanks to its cutting edge technology, the
hob is able to recognise most types of
cookware
. Place your pan on a cooking zone,
for example at power level 4,
if the display is
normal
, your pan is
OK to use
; if it
flashes
,
your pan is
not suitable
for use on an
induction hob. Even pans without a
completely flat bottom can be used, as long
as the bottom isn’t too out of shape.
• Automatic-stop
Automatic stop is a safety feature of your hob.
It is automatically activated if you forget to
turn off the cooker:
AS
is shown on the display for the cooking
zone concerned, and a beep sounds for
about 2 minutes.
AS
will continue to be
displayed until you press one of the touch
controls for the cooking zone. A double beep
will sound to confirm that a touch control has
been pressed.
INDUCTION-SAFE COOKWARE
• Which cookware is the most
suitable?
You probably already have pans that are
suitable for an induction hob.
— Enamelled steel pans with or without non-
stick coating
: casserole dishes, deep fryers,
saucepans or griddle pans.
— Cast-iron pans:
so as not to scratch the
vitroceramic surface, avoid sliding pans over
the hob surface, or choose a pan with an
enamel-coated base.
— Induction-safe stainless steel pans:
most
stainless steel pans are suitable for induction
cooking (saucepans, casserole dishes, frying
pans and deep fryers).
— Aluminium pans with special bases:
choose pans with flat, thick bottoms, which
provide a more even cooking (the heat is
distributed better).
— An “INDUCTION CLASS” logo
Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a
special finish on the bottom, copper and
some non-magnetic stainless steels do not
work with induction cooking. We recommend
that you select cookware with a thick, flat
bottom.
When you buy your cookware, make sure that
this logo is on the package; it assures you
that it is compatible with induction cooking.
To help you choose, a list of utensils is
provided in this booklet.
— Residual heat indicator
After intensive use, the cooking area may
remain hot for a few minutes.
A
will be displayed. Do not touch the zones
concerned during this time.
