Instructions for the user
4.1.2 Cookware
Appliances of this type require special cookware to be able to work.
In fact, the cookware must have an iron or steel/iron bottom to generate
the magnetic field necessary for it to be heated up.
Recipients made of the following are not suitable:
−
glass;
−
ceramic;
−
terracotta;
−
steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom.
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if
it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have
a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the recipient, place it
on a cooking zone and start the hotplate. If, instead of the power symbol,
the symbol appears, it means the pan is not suitable.
The pans used for cooking must have a minimum diameter to guarantee
proper functioning.
Below is a table with the minimum diameters for pans according to the
cooking zone.

Pans that are larger than the
diameter cooking zones can also be used, but
care must be taken that the bottom
140 mm
of the pan does not come into
90 mm
contact with other cooking zones
110 mm
and that it is always centred on the
90 mm
cooking zone perimeter.
