pan does not touch other cooking zones, and that it is always centred over the perimeter of the cooking
zone.
Use only vessels specially designed for induction cooking, with thick, completely flat bottom; if these are not
available, the pans used must not have crowned (concave or convex) bottom. (fig.18)
Residual heat
Each cooking zone is equipped with a device which warns of residual heat. After any cooking zone is
switched off, a 'H' may appear on the display. This warns that the cooking zone concerned is still very hot.
Cooking can be restarted while the 'H' is on.
Attention:
Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto the hob during cooking, or to place materials or
substances which might melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on it; if this should occur, to avoid damage to the
surface, turn the heating off immediately and clean with the scraper supplied while the cooking zone is still
warm. If the ceramic hob is not cleaned immediately, residues may form which cannot be removed once the
hob has cooled.
Important!
Keep a close eye on children because they are unlikely to see the residual heat warming lights. The cooking
zones are still very hot for some time after use, even if they are switched off. Make sure that children never
touch them.
WARNING: Under no circumstance use aluminium foil or plastic containers to hold the food while cooking on
a glass-ceramic hob.
WARNING: Do not touch the cooking area as long as the light indicating residual heat on the glass-ceramic
hob, is "on"; this indicates that the temperature in the relative area is still high.
WARNING: Never place pan with bottoms which are not perfectly flat and smooth on the hob
WARNING: If you notice a crack in the ceramic hob, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and
contact a service centre
WARNING: Your glass-ceramic hob is thermal shock resistant and resistant to both heat and cold.
If you drop a heavy pot on your hob it will not break.
On the contrary, if a hard object, such as the salt shaker or the spice bottle strikes the edge or the corner of
the hob, the hob may break.
WARNING: never use the glass-ceramic hob as support surface.
Matching Pots & Pans with Elements, etc.
The elements,14,5cm (5 3/4"), are best used:
- With small pieces of cookware - but normally not smaller then 10 cm (4");
-For slow cooking and simmering (sauces, creams, etc.);
-For cooking small quantities of food.
Minimum 10cm (3 15/16")pots, maximum 25cm (10") pots.
The element 27cm (11"), are primarily designed for day -to-day cooking needs and most commonly used
pans 15 to 32cm (6 to 13") In diameter.
When cooking large quantities of food, it is always better to use a large diameter pot/pan covering the
element. Thus, better and more efficient heat distribution will be achieved and food will be cooked evenly.
To Do or Not To Do
You must:
- Always place your cookware in such a way that its center is aligned with the centre of the element.
- Avoid hitting the vitroceramic glass with cookware or any hard objects. The glass surface is highly resistant
but not unbreakable.
- Pick-up your cookware when moving them around. Do not slide them and avoid excessive rubbing of the
top, as this leave scratches and erase the markings
- Avoid using cookware with rough or deformed bottoms.
- Avoid leaving any metal cooking accessories, knives and forks, or metal objects on the cooktop. They may
get hot if left close to any heating element in use.
