Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
▯
If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will
heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
▯
The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material of which the base of the cookware is made
contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that
the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even
that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware
made of:
▯
Traditional stainless steel
▯
Glass
▯
Clay
▯
Copper
▯
Aluminum
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) of which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer
base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
No pan or improper size
If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the
power level displayed on the element indicator will flash.
Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing.
If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable
pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.
Empty pans or pans with a thin base
Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base.
The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to react
and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan
base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this
case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If
the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please
contact Customer Support.
Pan detection
Each element has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the
cookware and the material of which its base is made. For
this reason, you should always use the element that best
matches the diameter of the base of the pan.
Automatic detection in double and triple cooking zones
These cooking zones can detect cookware of different
sizes. Depending on the material and the properties of
the cookware, the cooking zone automatically activates
the singe, double or triple cooking zone, supplying the
proper power to obtain good cooking results.
