Using Your Cooktop

INDUCTION COOKING

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

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.
  

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE

• IMPORTANT! Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol or indication on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.

• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

• If you do not have a magnet:
  1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
  2. Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
  If u is not flashing on the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
  3. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.

• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood,  porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware

WARNING! Some pots and pans on the market are not suitable for induction cooking because they have only a part of the bottom in ferromagnetic material with parts in another material. These areas may heat up at different levels or with lower power. In certain cases, where the bottom is made mainly of non- ferromagnetic materials,the hob might not recognise the pan and therefore not compatible on the cooking zone.

• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
  

• Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits  flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot that is slightly wider will cause energy to be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot the efficiency could be less than expected. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
  

• Always lift pans off the induction cooktop. Do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
  

The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

Operation Instructions

TO START COOKING

IMPORTANT! Do not use cookware with jagged edges
or a curved base.
