Before You Start
A Word on Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, efficient, and economical
cooking method. 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.
Before using your New Induction Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the 'Safety
Warnings' section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your
Induction hob.
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
• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction
cooking. Look for the induction symbol 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. 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, aluminum or copper
without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain,
ceramic, and earthenware.

ceramic glass plate

• 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 match
the graphic of the zone selected. Use a pot which
is slightly wider for maximum efficiency. If you use
smaller pot, efficiency could be less than expected.
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
• Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide,
or they may scratch the glass.
