b) Before Using for the First Time
Unpack the machine and remove all the paper and plastic. Makes sure no pieces of
packaging remain on the parts of the machine.
Before using the induction cooker for the first time, it is wise to ensure that it is at least 10
centimetres from all walls, partitions or flammable materials (curtains, drapes, etc.).
Then plug the cooker into a 10 ampere (minimum) earthed socket. If the use of an
extension lead proves to be indispensable make sure that it is in good condition and
compliant. Your machine must rest on a clean, horizontal, flat, stable surface that is heat-
resistant, Do not move the machine when it is operating.
When using the machine you may hear a slight noise which is due to a very slight
vibration of the pan at high frequency. This is normal and is not a source of danger.
c)
Compatible and Incompatible Pans
Compatible pans must be used. In order to determine whether your pans are compatible or not
you just need to use a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan this means that
your pan is compatible with induction cookers.
You can also refer to the diagram below showing compatible pans:
Metal frying pan
Enamel and stainless steel kettle
The compatibility of these pans refers to tests performed on pans containing stainless steel 430
with a base of 180 +/- 10 mm. Other cooking utensils do not guarantee results of equivalent
quality.
Pans in aluminium, copper, ceramic, glass or aluminium alloy must not be used with this
machine, as well as those with a diameter of less than 12 cm or more than 26 cm.
This machine can in fact take saucepans with a diameter of between 12 and 26 cm.
d) The Safety Pack
The machine has a complete safety pack:
Warning about the plate temperature: if the screen shows "L" the plate is cold and if
it shows "H" it is hot.
Anti-overheating system. If the temperature inside the machine is too high, it will stop
heating.
