HOB COOKWARE ADVICE
Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from your hob
bases : using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even distribution of heat.
- Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling p a n s w i t h liquid or using one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry before placing it on the This will help to avoid staining the hob.
- Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no smaller than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be used at its maximum
THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE – The following information will help
you to choose cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich
clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel
(appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminium or
copper (heat conduction, even heatdistribution).
Aluminium : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium
residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if
cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used. Cast
Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended. Good performance,
but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will
leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.
Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth, flat
base. Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Through the “Power management” function, the user can set the maximum power
that can be reached by the hob. Power management function is only available
during first 30 seconds after switch on the hob. There is even the possibility
to repeat this setting switching off and on the power plug. By setting the
desired maximum power, the hob automatically adjusts the distribution in the
various cooking zones so that this limit is never exceeded; with the added
advantage of being able to simultaneously manage all the zones without
overload problems. The customer can set the maximum power of hob between
2.5 kW and the maximum related power of the hob (this can change according to
the model). For example if the maximum power of the hob is 7 kW, the maximum
power level for setting is between 2.5kW and 7 kW. After connecting the
appliance to the electrical power, within 30 seconds you can set the power
level based on the points shown below:
1.- Switch on hob.
2.- Let touch control finish its initialization process. 3.- Unlock the
control.
After that, touch control won´t allow any combination which can exceed
this limit.

copper; these stains are difficult to remove.
PROBLEM SOLVING
The cooking zones do not simmer or only fry gently
Only use flat-bottomed pans. If light is visible between the pan and the hob,
the zone is not transmitting heat correctly.
The pan bottom should fully cover the diameter of the selected zone.
The cooking is too slow
Unsuitable pans are being used. Only use flatbottomed utensils, that are heavy
and have a diameter at least the same
as the cooking zone.
Small scratches or abrasions on the hob’s glass
surface Incorrect cleaning or rough-bottomed pans are used; particles
like grains of sand or salt get between the hob and the bottom of the pan.
Refer to the “CLEANING” section; make sure that pan bottoms are clean before
use and only use smooth bottomed pans. Scratches can be lessened only the
cleaning is done correctly.
