Elements that may

damage the appliance

Pan bottoms

Hot pans

Salt, sugar and sand

Hard or pointed objects

Food spillage

Unsuitable cleaning
products

Plastic and paper

Energy-saving advice

Rough pan bottoms may scratch the cooktop.

Avoid leaving empty pans on the cooking areas. This may result in damage to the
appliance. If special cookware is used, please follow the manufacturer's

instructions.

Never place any hot pans or other cookware on the control panel, the display area
or the cooktop frame.

Salt, sugar and sand particles may scratch the cooktop.

Hard or pointed objects may damage the cooktop if they are dropped on it.

Do not use the cooktop as a work or support surface.

Sugar and other similar products may damage the cooktop. Remove such products
immediately using a scraper for glass surfaces.

The use of unsuitable cleaning products and the wear caused by contact with
cookware will result in fading of the metal parts.

Aluminum foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on element while it is hot.

Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bottoms increase
energy consumption. Place a ruler against the bottom of the pan. Ifthere are no

gaps, this means the bottom is completely flat.

The diameter of the pan you are using should be the same as the diameter of
the element. Please note: If the cookware manufacturer provides the diameter
for the top of the pan, bear in mind that this is in most cases greater than the
diameter of its bottom. This is generally greater than the diameter of the base of
the pan. If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the diameter of the
element, it is preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in diameter
than the element, otherwise half the energy will be wasted.

Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A
large pan that is only half full will use a great amount of energy.

Ensure that pans are always placed in the center of the element and always
cover them with a lid. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold
increase in energy use.

Use a small amount of water when cooking. This will save energy and preserve
the vitamins and minerals of cooked vegetables.

When cooking stews or liquid food such as soups, sauces or drinks, these may
reach a high temperature within a very short time and without warning, with the
risk of spillage. Therefore, it is advisable to heat food slowly, adjusting the heat
setting to an adequate level and stirring the food before and during the heating

process.

10

Cooking by induction

Advantages of
induction cooking

Proper cookware

Induction cooking constitutes a radical change in the traditional form of heating,
given that the heat is generated directly in the pan. Therefore, it has a number of
advantages:

÷ Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is heated directly.

÷ Uses less energy

÷ Greater convenience and cleanliness; food spilled on the cooktop surface

will not burn.

÷ Cooking control and safety; The cooktop heats up or cools down

immediately after the controls are set. The induction cooktop also stops
supplying heat if the pan is removed without first turning off the power.

Ferromagnetic pans

Special induction cooking
cookware

Check the pans with a
magnet

Improper cookware

Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking. These can be of

• enameled steel

• cast iron

• special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking.

There is another type of special cookware for induction cooking with a base that is
not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter. It could affect both the detection of

the cookware as well as the results of the cooking.

Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are
suitable. The manufacturer normally indicates if pans are suitable for induction

cooking.

Never use pans made of:

• thin normal steel

• glass

• clay

• copper

• aluminum

Characteristics of the pan
base

No pan or improper size

The characteristics of the pan base can influence the evenness of the cooking.
Pans made out of materials that diffuse heat, such as pans with a "sandwich" of

stainless steel, spread heat uniformly, saving time and energy.

If no pan is placed on the selected element, or it is not of a suitable size, the

cooking element shown on the element indicator will flash. It will stop flashing once
a suitable pan is placed on the element. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place

a suitable pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.

11

Empty pans or pans
with a thin base

Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. The cooktop has an
internal safety system, but an empty pan could heat up so quickly the "automatic

deactivation" function does not have time to react and the pan could reach a very
high temperature. The pan base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In the

event this occurs, do not touch the pan and turn off the element. If it does not
function after cooling off, contact technical service.

Cookware detection

Double or triple
cooking element

Each element has a minimum limit for detecting cookware, which varies based on
the material of the pan you are using. Therefore, you should use the element that

best matches the diameter of your pan.

These elements can recognize different sized pans. Depending on the material and
the properties of the pan, the element will automatically adapt, and will activate only

single zone or the entire zone and supply the proper power to provide good cooking
results.
