Before using your new induction hob
• Remove all protective film that may still be on your induction hob.
• Clean the glass surface with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents such as abrasive
cleaners that can scratch the surface, abrasive diswashing sponges, or stain removers.
Choosing the right cookware
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth with a minimum thickness of 3mm, sits flat against the
glass, and is no less than 120mm in diameter. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
• Occasionally the heated areas will switch on and off when higher heat settings are used.
This is the hob trying to keep to the power setting you have set. Some switching on and
off when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no
damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times. Excessive switching may however be
caused by the use of an unsuitable saucepan. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue
the use of the saucepan.
• To improve performance, and reduce energy, always use pans with close fitting lids.
