Use
Cooking containers
Use only pots bearing the symbol
Important:
to avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:
- containers with less than perfectly flat bottoms.
- metal containers with enamelled bottoms.
- containers with a rough base, to avoid scratching the hob
surface.
- never place hot pots and pans on the surface of the hob's
control panel
Pre-existing containers
Induction cooking uses magnetism to generate heat.
Containers must therefore contain iron. Check if the pot
material is magnetic using a magnet. Pots are not suitable if
they are not magnetically detectable.
Recommended pan bottom diameters
IMPORTANT: if the pots are not correctly sized, the
cooking zones will not turn on
For details of the minimum pot diameter that needs to be used
on each zone, see the illustrated part of this manual.
Energy saving
Recommendations for best results:
- Use pots and pans with a bottom diameter equal to that of
the cooking zone.
- Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms.
- Where possible, keep the lid on pots during cooking
- Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a minimal amount of
water to reduce cooking time.
- Use a pressure cooker, as it further reduces the energy
consumption and cooking time
- Place the pot in the centre of the cooking zone outlined on
the hob.
Selection of cooking vessels
You may have a number of different cooking vessels
1. This induction hob can identify a variety of cooking vessels,
which you can test by one of the following methods:
Place the vessel on the cooking zone. If the corresponding
cooking zone displays a power level, then the vessel is
suitable. If "U" flashes, then the vessel is not suitable for use
with the induction hob
2. Hold a magnet to the vessel. If the magnet is attracted to
the vessel is suitable for use with the induction hob.
NB: The base of the vessel must contain magnetic material.
It must have flat bottom with a diameter according to the table
1-below.
3. Use only ferromagnetic cookwares made from enameled
steel, cast iron or stainless steel but compatible with induction
4. Use pans whose diameter of the ferromagnetic area (base
of the pan) is in the range of dimensions in the table below.
(Table
- If you use smaller pots, performance could be affected
- If you use pot with a diameter smaller than the one indicated
in the table 1, pots may not be detected
