• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a
utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the
controls difficult to operate.

induction cooking. Look for the induction

the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable
for induction hob.
