manual abstract
Suitable pans Ferromagnetic cookware Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking, these may be made from: ¦ enamelled steel ¦ cast iron ¦ special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan. To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to it. Other cookware for induction There are other types of cookware especially made for induction cooking whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic. When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic area, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed. Pans with aluminium areas inserted in the base reduce the ferromagnetic area, so less heat may be supplied and the pan may be difficult to detect or not be detected at all. For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the hotplate. If cookware is not detected on a hotplate, try it on the next smaller hotplate down. Unsuitable pans Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from: ¦ common thin steel ¦ glass ¦ earthenware ¦ copper ¦ aluminium Characteristics of the pan base The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy. Absence of pan or unsuitable size If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically. Empty pans or those with a thin base Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the " automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service. Pan detection Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan. Getting to know your appliance The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs. An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on page 2.

Only use cookware suitable for induction cooking; see the " Appropriate cookware" section. Residual heat indicator Although the hob is switched off, the indicator oe or • will remain on for as long as the hotplate is hot. The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate to show those which are still hot. Avoid touching them when this If the pan is removed before the hotplate is turned off, the indicator is lit. indicator oe or • and the selected power level will appear alternately. Programming the hob This section will show you how to program the hotplates. The table contains power levels and cooking times for several dishes. Turning the hob on and off The hob is turned on and off using the main switch. To turn on: Press the # symbol. A beep sounds. The indicator located next to the main switch and the ‹ indicators of the hotplates light up. The hob is ready for use. To turn off: press the # symbol until the indicators go out. All hotplates are turned off. The residual heat indicator will remain lit until the hotplates have cooled down sufficiently. Notes ¦ The hob switches off automatically when all the hotplates are switched off for more than 20 seconds. ¦ The settings are memorised for 4 seconds after the hob has been turned off. If the hotplate is switched back on within this time then the previous settings will be applied. Set the hotplate Select the required power level with the + and - symbols. Power level 1 = minimum power. Power level 9 = maximum power. Each power level has an intermediate setting. This is marked with a dot. Selecting the hotplate and the power level The hob must be switched on. 1. Select the hotplate with the $ symbol. 2. Within the next 10 seconds press the + or - symbol.
