Cookware Suitable for Induction Hob
Induction hobs are made from smooth, ceramic glass, the heat comes from a
magnetic induction coil which heats the cookware but not the cooking surface.
The heat from the cookware is transferred to the food.
Pans suitable for induction hob use must be made from magnetisable metal
such as
cast iron or 430 steel.
Pure aluminium, copper or glass pans will not
work with this type of hob unless the base is bonded with a magnetic metal.
Check that pans are attracted to a magnet - this ensures that they are
suitable for use with an induction hob.
It is important that you use only metal pans specifically designed and/or
approved for use on Induction Hobs. Never allow melamine or plastic
containers to come in contact with the heat zones
.
Before using your New Induction and Infrared Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction and Infrared
hob.
Using the Touch Controls
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g.
a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the
controls difficult to operate.
