The ceramic cooktop is fitted with induction cooking zones.
These zones, shown by painted disks for the single zones or by a painted rectangle for the
"Bridge" area, are controlled by a touch control system .
INDUCTION COOKING SYSTEM
When your induction hob is switched on and a cooking zone has been selected, the
electronic circuits produce induced currents that instantaneously heat the bottom of the
pan which then transfers this heat to the food .
Cooking takes place with hardly any energy loss between the induction hob and the food .
Your induction hob operates only if a correct pan with the right features is placed on a
cooking zone . Please refer to "COOKWARE/COFFEE POT FOR INDUCTION COOKING" .
COOKWARE/COFFEE POT FOR INDUCTION COOKING
The induction cooking system OPERATES ONLY if using correct cookware suitable for
induction cooking (normally identified by an induction symbol on the bottom of the cookware/
coffee pot) . The use of not suitable cookware may cause damage to the appliance .
The bottom of the pan/coffee pot has to be ferromagnetic to generate the electromagnetic
field necessary for the heating process (meaning a magnet has to stick to the bottom of the
pan/coffee pot) .
Pans/coffee pots made from the following materials are not suitable:
• glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware;
• pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom .
To check if a pan/coffee pot is suitable or not:
• Test the bottom of the pan/coffee pot with a magnet: if the magnet sticks, the pan is
suitable .
• If a magnet is not available pour a small amount of water inside the pan/coffee pot
and place the pan on a cooking zone . Switch on the cooking zone: if the cooking
zone display shows alternately the set power level and "
suitable (then after 1 minute, the power level automatically returns to "
Important: Do not use pots/coffee pot adaptors; this could cause an overheating and
possible damage to the appliance.
Important note: the cooking zones will not operate if the pan/coffee pot diameter is too
small . To correctly use the cooking zones follow the indications given in the following table .

IMPORTANT: Some cookware available on the market is not of good quality or has an
effective ferromagnetic area which is much smaller than the diameter of the pan itself .
Avoid using this cookware because the induction cooktop may not function properly or may
be damaged .
