Cooking vessels
Because induction takes place only when a metal cooking
vessel closes the magnetic field, the generation of heat
stops immediately when the cooking vessel is taken off
the heating zone.
You must use cooking vessels whose material is
compatible with induction (ferromagnetic). Cast iron,
enamelled steel and special stainless steel for induction
are suitable. Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass,
porcelain, aluminium and non-magnetic stainless steel are
not compatible with induction. You can test your pots and
pans with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of
the pan, it is made of ferromagnetic material and can be
used on an induction hob.
We recommend pots with very flat, heavy bottoms. Do
not use cooking vessels with rough bottoms which can
scratch the glass.
For maximum efficiency, the diameter of the cooking vessel
should be as close as possible to that of the heating zone
(shown on the glass). Using well-adapted cooking vessels
saves energy and shortens cooking time.
Safety: automatic power-cut
If you forget to turn off one or more heating zones, the
power is automatically cut off after a certain amount of
time.
To reset the controls, press the key to switch off the hob.
If you press it again, you will be able to use the hob.

Should your appliance's electronic components overheat,
the hob will turn off automatically and the letter
come up on the power level display.
The letter will disappear as soon as the temperature drops
back down to an acceptable level.
Instructions on how to use the ceramic glass
cooktop
To obtain the best results with the ceramic glass cooktop,
several fundamental rules should be followed while
cooking or preparing food.
•
Use cookware with a flat bottom to make certain that
the pot sets properly on the cooking area.
•
Use cookware with a diameter large enough to
completely cover the cooking plate in order to utilise
all of the heat produced by the heating element.
•
Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always
clean and dry to provide good contact between the
cooking surface and the cookware. This will also
increase the life of the cooktops and cookware.
•
Do not use cookware which has been used with gas
burners. The concentrated heat produced by gas
burners can deform the bottom of the cookware. As a
result, it is impossible to obtain the results desired when
this type of cookware is used on a ceramic glass
cooktop.
•
Never leave a heating on element unless cookware is
placed on the element because the cookware will
become very hot in a short period of time and this may
damage the heating elements.
•
Keep in mind that the cooking area remains hot for at
least a half an hour after the appliance has been turned
off. Make sure that you do not inadvertently place
containers or objects on the cooking area while it is
still hot.
•
Do not turn the heating elements on if there are plastic
objects or aluminium foil on the cooktop.
•
Do not get too close to the cooking areas when they
are hot.
•
The ceramic glass used to make the cooktop is very
durable. However, should it crack, do not use the
cooktop and disconnect it from the power supply.
