INDUCTION-SAFE COOKWARE
• Which cookware is the most
suitable?
You probably already have pans that are
suitable for an induction hob.
— Enamelled steel pans with or without non-
stick coating: casserole dishes, deep fryers,
saucepans or griddle pans.
— Cast-iron pans: so as not to scratch the
vitroceramic surface, avoid sliding pans over
the hob surface, or choose a pan with an
enamel-coated base.
— Induction-safe stainless steel pans: most
stainless steel pans are suitable for induction
cooking (saucepans, casserole dishes, frying
pans and deep fryers).
— Aluminium pans with special bases:
choose pans with flat, thick bottoms, which
provide a more even cooking (the heat is
distributed better).
— An "INDUCTION CLASS" logo
Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a
special finish on the bottom, copper and
some non-magnetic stainless steels do not
work with induction cooking. We recommend
that you select cookware with a thick, flat
bottom.
When you buy your cookware, make sure that
this logo is on the package; it assures you
that it is compatible with induction cooking.

• The "cookware" test
Thanks to its cutting edge technology, the
hob is able to recognise most types of
cookware. Place your pan on a hotplate, for
example at power level 4, if the display is
normal, your pan is OK to use; if it flashes,
your pan is not suitable for use on an
induction hob. Even pans without a
completely flat bottom can be used, as long
as the bottom isn't too out of shape.
• Automatic-stop
Automatic stop is a safety feature of your hob.
It is automatically activated if you forget to
turn off the cooker:
Power level used
Positioned:
between 1......... 7
between 8........11
above 12
AS is shown on the display for the hotplate
concerned, and a beep sounds for about
2 minutes. AS will continue to be displayed
until you press one of the buttons for the
hotplate. A double beep will sound to confirm
that a button has been pressed.
