Other suitable cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware with a base not
entirely ferromagnetic that are made for induction
cooking use.
Unsuitable pans
Never use pans made of:
thin normal steel
▯
glass
▯
clay
▯
copper
▯
aluminum
▯
When using large cookware
on a smaller ferromagnetic
element, only the ferromag-
netic element heats up, so
heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Cookware with aluminum on
the base reduce the ferro-
magnetic zone, so less heat
may be supplied or problems
with detection might occur.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's
ferromagnetic area should
match the size of the ele-
ment. If cookware is not
detected on an element, try it
on the next smaller element.
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base can influence the
evenness of the cooking results. Pans made from
materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel
sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and
energy.
No pan or improper size
If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the
power level displayed on the element indicator will flash.
Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing.
If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable
pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.
Empty pans or pans with a thin base
Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base.
The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to react
and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan
base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this
case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If
the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please
contact the technical service.
Pan detection
Each element has a minimum limit for detecting pans,
which varies depending on the material of the pan you
are using. You should therefore use the element that best
matches the diameter of your pan.
Automatic detection on double or triple cooking
elements
These elements can detect different pan sizes.
Depending on the material and properties of the pan, the
element will adapt automatically, and will turn on single
zone or the entire element, supplying the proper power to
obtain good cooking results.
