HINTS AND TIPS
Cookware
· Use thick, flat, smooth bottomed cookwares that are the same diameter as the element. This will
help reduce cooking times.
· Cookware made of steel, enamelled steel, cast iron and stainless steel (if appropriately abelled by
the manufacturer) will give you the best results.
· Cookware made of enamelled steel or aluminium or copper bottoms can cause a metallic residue to
remain on the hob. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the hob after every use.
· Cookware is suitable for induction if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
· Cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone. If it is not placed correctly, is displayed.
· When using certain pans, you may get various noises from the pans, this is due to the design of the
pans and does not effect the performance or safety of the hob.
Energy saving
· Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the cookware bottom up to a certain limit.
However the magnetic part of the cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter depending upon
the size of the cooking zone.
· Place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.If it is switched on before putting
any cookware, the cooking zone will not operate and the control display shows.
· Use a lid to reduce cooking time.
· When liquid comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
· Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
· Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking applications.

Cleaning tips
· Do not use abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects to clean the
