Hob Cookware Advice

Using good quality cookware is critical for setting
the best performance from your hob.
• Always use good quality cookware with
perfectly flat and thick 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 pans with 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 hob. 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 efficiency.
THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE - The following
information will help you to choose cookware
which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended specially

How to choose power management level
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
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 heat distribution).
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
e performance. May scratch the surface.
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.
