• containers with a base that is not perfectly
flat;
• metal containers with an enamelled base;
• containers with a rough base, to avoid
scratching the cooktop surface;
• never place hot pots and pans on the sur-
face of the cooktop's control panel.
Not all pans suitable for induction work in an
efficient manner due to the base only
partially consisting of ferromagnetic
material! When purchasing pots or pans
ensure that:
• that the base is made entirely from ferro-
magnetic material. If this is not the case,
the efficacy of the transmission of heat is
lessened and the uniformity of heat and
the temperature of the pot/pan may not
be suitable for cooking.
• The base does not contain aluminium: the
crockery does not heat and may not be re-
cognised by the inductors.
• Bases that are not flat or that have rough
surfaces.
These lower the contact surface area
between the inductor and the pan, lowering
efficiency and harming the cooking
experience.
IMPORTANT:
never put hot pots or pans on the cooktop
control panel surface.
You can check if the pot material is magnetic
simply by using a magnet. Pots are not
suitable if they are not magnetically
detectable. The indications from the
previous paragraph also apply here.
IMPORTANT:
if the pots are not of the correct size, the
cooking zones will not switch on.
To see the minimum pot diameters for each
individual zone, consult the illustrated
section of this manual.
To obtain the best results we recommend:
• Using pots and pans with a bottom dia-
meter equal to that of the cooking zone.
• Where possible, keep the cover on the pan
during cooking and in particular on pans
with height greater than 22 cm.
• Position the pan in the center of the cook-
ing zone indicated on the cooktop.
