USE OF INDUCTION HOB
The ceramic hob is fitted with induction cooking zones. These zones, shown by graphic elements
painted on the ceramic surface, 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/coffee pot 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).
To check if a pan/coffee pot is suitable or not:
•
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 "
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.
Induction cooking zone
Cooking zone Ø 145 mm
Cooking zone Ø 210 mm
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.
Pay attention: The pan/coffee pot shall always be centred over the middle of the cooking zone.
It is possible to use oversized pans/coffee pots but its bottom shall not touch the other cooking zone.
Always use pans/coffee pots with thick, completely flat bottom.
Do not use pans/coffee pots with concave or convex bottom; these could cause overheating of the
cooking zone.
Note: Some types of pans/coffee pots could cause noise when used on an induction cooking zone.
The noise does not mean any failure on the appliance and does not influence the cooking operation.
