Causes of damage

The	base	of the	pans	The rough bases of pans		may scratch the hob.
				Avoid leaving empty pans on the hotplates. These
				may	cause damage.
Hot	pans			Never	rest hot pans on the control		panel, the	indi
				area or the hob surround.
Salt,	sugar	and	sand	Salt,	sugar and grains of	sand may	scratch the h
				Do not lean on the hob		or use it	as a work	sur
Hard	and	pointed objects		Hard	or pointed objects may cause		damage if	they
				onto	the hob.

Spilt food

Inappropriate cleaning products

Plastic and foil

Sugar and other similar products may damage the hob.These products should be removed immediately using a glass scraper.

Discolourations in the metal are caused by using unsuitable cleaning products and wear as a result contact with pans.

Aluminium foil and	plastic	containers will melt if pla
on the hot areas	of the	hob.

Environmental protection

Environmentally-friendly waste management

Advice on saving energy

Unpack the appliance and	dispose of the packagin
by environmentally-friendly	means.

This appliance complies with Directive WEEE 2002/96/CE on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment.	This directive defines the framework for
the recycling and reuse of used appliances
throughout	Europe.

H Use a pan with thick flat base. Curved bases

increase				energy		consumption.
Place a ruler on the							base of the pan, if there
gaps,			the base			of the pan is completely flat.
H The diameter of the							base		of	the	pan should fit
size		of		the	hotplate.
Check if the manufacturer has indicated the upp
diameter				of	the	pan.	In general, this is greater
the		diameter			of	the	base		of	the	pan.
If	the		diameter			of the pan			does		not fit the dia
of	the		hotplate,			you	are recommended to use a
pan		which is larger					than	the		size	of the hotplat
else		half		the	energy		will	be		lost.

H	Choose pans which are the right size for the
	amount	of	food to be		prepared.			A large pan w
	is half	full	will	consume	a	lot	of	energy.
H	Always	centre		the pan	on	the	hotplate and alw

cover the pan with the matching lid. Cooking without using the lid quadruples energy consumption.

H Cook using small amounts of water. This will sa energy and will also help green vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.

9

H During their cooking, food such as stews, soups

sauces or drinks may heat				up	too quickly		witho
any	indication,	spilling out		of the		cookware.
It is therefore advisable to				heat this type of foo
gently, selecting		a	suitable	power		level and	stirri
the	contents before		and during		cooking.

Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking involves a radical change to the traditional method of heating, as the heat is genera directly in the pan. For this reason, it offers a nu of advantages:

H	Greater speed		in	cooking	and frying;as the pan
	is heated	directly.
H	Reduced	energy		consumption
H	Cleaner	and easier to uspilte; food does not
	burn as	much	on	the hob.
H	Cooking	control and safety;the hob supplies or
	cuts off the heat as soon as the controls are
	operated. The induction hotplate stops supplying
	heat if the pan is			removed	before the power h
	been switched		off.

10

Suitable pans

Ferromagnetic pans	Ferromagnetic pans are the only pans which a
	suitable for induction cooking. They can be
	made of:
	H	enamelled steel
	H	cast iron

	H specially designed cookware for induction cooking
	made from	stainless	steel.
Special pans for induction Other types of		special	pans are available for induct
cooking	cooking, where the base of the pan is not entirely
	ferromagnetic. Check the diameter as this could
	affect the pan	detection as well as the cooking re

Checking pans using a magnet

To find out whether the pans are suitable, check they are attracted to a magnet.

The manufacturer will usually indicate if their pans suitable for induction cooking.

Unsuitable pans	Never use		pans	made	from:
	H	standard,	high	quality	steel
	H	glass
	H	earthenware
	H	copper
	H	aluminium

Characteristics of the baseThe characteristics of the base of		the	pan	can aff
of the pan	the evenness of the cooking.
	Pans which are made from heat-diffusing materials
	(such as "sandwich" pans made from stainless stee
	distribute the heat evenly, saving	time	and	energy.

Empty

pans and do not

bases. Although your hob is equipped with an inte

safety system, empty cookware can heat up so

quickly that the "automatic OFF" function does not

have

time

to react

and a very high

temperature m

be reached. The base of the pan could melt and

damage the hob's

glass surface. If this happens, d

not

touch

the pan

and switch off the hotplate. If

does not work after cooling, contact our After-Sale

Service.

Pan

detection

Each

hotplate has

a minimum limit for pan detectio

which varies according to the material

from which

pan

being

used is

made. It is for this

reason that

are recommended to use a

hotplate

which matches

the diameter of the pan.

Double

or triple

hotplate

These

areas can detect pans of different

sizes. Th

area will automatically adapt, depending on the pan

material and its properties, activating

only

a single

area or an entire area and supplying

the

right leve

power

for

best cooking results.
