Suitable Induction Cookware; Noise During Operation; Recommendations - Bertazzoni Master Series Installation, User And Maintenance Manual

INDUCTION COOKTOP
PAN DETECTION
Each cooking zone is equipped with a "pan detection"
device, which ensures that cooking cannot start unless a
suitable pan is present on the cooking zone and properly
positioned.
If the user attempts to switch on the cooking zone with the
pan not positioned properly or with a pan which is not of
suitable material, the
after the zone is switched on to warn the user that an error
has been made.
RESIDUAL HEAT
Each cooking zone is equipped with a device which warns
of residual heat. After any cooking zone is switched off, a
flashing H may appear on the display, warning that the
cooking zone is still very hot.
Cooking can be restarted while the H is flashing.

SUITABLE INDUCTION COOKWARE

Induction technology requires iron or magnetic steel
cookware in order to generate the magnetic field necessary
for the heating process.
Cookware made of glass, porcelain, ceramic or aluminum
will not work on an induction cooktop. Pots made of glass,
porcelain, ceramic are not suitable. Pots made with steel,
aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom will also not
work.
Most suitable pans are marked for use with induction. To
check whether a pan is suitable, simply place a magnet
close to its bottom: if the magnet sicks to the bottom of the
pan, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you don't
have a magnet handy, place a small of water in the pan,
place the pan on any cooking zone and switch it on. If the
symbol appears on the display, the pan is not suitable.
Use only vessels specially designed for induction cooking,
with thick, completely flat bottom. If these are not available,
the pans used must not have a round (concave or convex)
bottom.
Pans that are not completely flat and have a recessed
bottom leave an air gap between pot and cooktop, which
during operation can reach high temperatures that can
damage the glass top and the inductors below the glass.
The pans must have certain minimum diameter to ensure
optimal operation. Pans larger than the cooking zones can
also be used: make sure that the bottom of the pan does
not touch other cooking zones and that it is always
centered over the inductor.

NOISE DURING OPERATION

A pulsating humming or buzzing sound during operation is
normal, and can vary in intensity with different types of
cookware.
It is normal to hear a fan noise after switching the induction
hob off.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Always place your pan in such a way that its center is
aligned with the centre of the element.
• Pick-up your cookware when moving them around. Do
not slide them and avoid excessive rubbing of the top, as
this may leave scratches on the glass surface.
• Never leave an empty pot/pan on an induction heating
element, even when the element is turned OFF.
• Only use maximum power for boiling and frying.
• Avoid preheating your non-stick pans (e. g. with teflon
coating) at maximum heat.
• Avoid storing solids and heavy items in the cabinets
above your cooktop. They may accidentally be dropped
and damage the glass top.
• Place extra care to avoid spilling sugar or sweet
mixtures onto the cooktop area during cooking, and
avoid materials or substances which might melt
(plastic or aluminium foil) on it. If this occurs, turn
the heating off immediately and clean with the
scraper supplied while the cooking zone is still
warm. If the ceramic cooktop area is not cleaned
immediately, residues may form which may not be
removed once the cooktop area has cooled.
