COOKWARE
Induction
A
B
The use of appropriate cookware is an essential factor for induction cooking. Check
that your pots are suitable for the induction system. Only ferromagnetic cookware
made of the following materials is suitable for induction hobs:
- Enameled steel
- Cast iron
- Induction-capable stainless steel cookware.
To determine whether the cookware is suitable, check whether the base of the
pot or pan attracts a magnet. There are other induction-capable pots and pans
whose bases are not completely ferromagnetic. To get good cooking results, we
recommend that the dimension of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware match
the size of the burner. We advise cookware having a flat base (Fig.6A). This way you
can use the power optimally.
Do not use cookware with a rough base to avoid scratching the surface of the hob.
A very important factor in induction cooking is the dimension of the pot compared
to the plate used. The cooking zones allow the use of cookware with bases of
various diameters. It is, however, preferable to use the appropriate cooking zone for
the dimension of the pot.

POT DETECTION
Each induction cooking zone has a pot detection minimum limit, which varies
according to the material of the cookware being used. For this reason, you should
choose the cooking zone which is most suitable for the diameter of the cookware
you are going to use.
If the symbol appears on the cooking zone display, it means that:
- The cookware used is not suitable for induction cooking.
- The cookware diameter is smaller than the one allowed by the hob.
- No cookware is on the cooking zone.
RESIDUAL HEAT H
If the temperature of the cooking zone is still high (over 50°C) after it has been

Timing
As a result of the EU65 “Energy label” and EU66 “ Ecodesign” regulations issued
by the European Commission, which came into force as from January 1st, 2015 ,
our products have been adapted to comply with these new requirements. All of
the models complying with the energy label requirements, are equipped with new
electronics including a timer device for suction speeds control, when the air capacity
exceeds 650m³/h. Internal motor models, with maximum air capacity higher than
650m³/h, are equipped with a timer device that automatically switches the suction
speed from 4th to 3rd speed, after 6 minutes operation. External motor models
are equipped with remote motors that, as for internal motor versions, include a
timer device that switches down the suction speed when it exceeds 650 m3/h.
(See External Motors Instructions). Remote motors, whose air capacity exceeds
650m³/h at both 4th and 3rd speed, will have the following by default timer control
functions: The suction speed is automatically switched from 4th to 2nd speed, after
6 minutes operation. If the appliance is working at 3rd speed, it is automatically
switched to 2nd speed, after 7 minutes operation. Operation speeds can still be
changed during operation. The energy consumption of the appliance in standby
mode is lower than 0.5W.
