POTS AND PANS
Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material which are suitable for use with induction hobs:
• enamelled steel
• cast iron
• special pots and pans in stainless steel, suitable
for induction cooking
To determine whether a pot is suitable, check for the symbol (usually stamped on the bottom). A magnet may be used to check whether pots are magnetic. The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance. Some indications for the diameter of the base do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.
Some pots and pans have only a part of the bottom in ferromagnetic material, with parts in another material that is not suitable for induction cooking. These areas may heat up at dierent levels or with lower temperatures. In certain cases, where the bottom is made mainly of non-ferromagnetic materials, the hob might not recognise the pan and therefore not switch on the cooking zone.
To ensure optimum eciency, always use pots and pans with a at bottom that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is uneven, this will aect power and heat conduction.
Empty pots or pots with a thin base
Do not use empty pots or pans when the hob is on. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system that constantly monitors the temperature, activating the “automatic o“ function where high temperatures are detected. When used with empty pots or pots with thin bases, the temperature may rise very quickly, and the “automatic o“ function may not be triggered immediately, damaging the pan or the hob surface. If this occurs, do not touch anything, and wait for all components to cool down. If any error messages appear, call the service centre.
Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for the dierent cooking areas
To ensure that the hob functions properly, use pots of a suitable minimum diameter (refer to the table below). Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the minimum diameter of the bottom of the pot. Place the pot making sure it is well centered on the cooking zone in use. It is recommended not to use pots that exceed the perimeter of the cooking zone in use.
ADAPTER FOR POTS/PANS UNSUITABLE FOR INDUCTION
Using this accessory makes it possible to use pots and pans that are not suitable for induction hobs. It is important to bear in mind that using it aects eciency and consequently the time needed to heat food. Its use should be limited because the temperatures reached on its surface depend signicantly on the pot/pan used, its atness and the type of food being cooked. Using a pot or pan with a smaller diameter than the adapter disc may cause heat to build up that is not transmitted to the pot or pan and this could blacken both the hob and the disc. Adapt the diameter of your pots/pans and the hob to the diameter of the adapter.
FIRST TIME USE
