magnetic properties and a sufficiently large
base.
Suitable cookware:

bases.
• Cast iron cookware with an enamelled
base.
• Cookware in multilayer stainless steel,
ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with
a special base.
Unsuitable cookware:
• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium,

Use
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a
magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted,
the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If
you do not have a magnet, you can put a
small amount of water in the pan, place it
on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If
the symbol
means the pan is not suitable.
Use only cookware with a
perfectly flat bottom and suitable
for induction hot plates. Using
cookware with an irregular bottom
could jeopardise the efficiency of
the heating system and prevent
cookware from being detected on
the hot plate.
