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 asolid, 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 avery 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.

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. Itwill 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
Triple hotplate
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.
This hotplate can recognize different sized pans. Depending on the material and the
properties of the pan, the element will automatically adapt, and will activate the
single zone only, the double or the entire zone and supply the proper power to
provide good cooking results.
A special pan may be purchased for this hotplate from special retailers or from our
Technical Assistance Service.
Always quote the reference number: CHEFSPAN13 (16" pan oprimized for 13"
zone).

Cooking sensor
This function allows you to cook on the rear elements. It is suitable for cooking foods
that are being heated; are in water, with a lot of oil or butter.
Note
How it works
Advantages when cooking
Proper cookware
Specialized cookware
The cooking sensor function should not be used to roast.
Pans that contain hot food produce heat. The cooking sensor detects this heat and
the cooktop automatically regulates the temperature.
The element only heats up when necessary. This saves energy.
The oil and fat do not overheat.
It prevents food from overflowing in the pan when they boil, and help you avoid from
having to regulate the temperature.
The proper cookware for this function should have a surface that properly gives off
the sensor heat. If the cookware is inappropriate, automatic temperature regulation
will not work. Food may boil over or burn.
The proper size of enameled cookware may be used. The pan base should be of
sufficient diameter to cover the element completely. If using stainless steel
cookware, use the sensor bands included with the appliance.
To use them, attach the sensor band to the pot by means of the adhesive backing.
Make certain that the sensor band is always facing the sensor. If the band is not
facing the sensor, the controller will not work properly and foods can boil over.You
can also purchase the sensor band from your electrical appliance dealer:
•SENSORSTRP
This cookware can be purchased in specialty stores or via our technical assistance
service. Always quote the reference number:
• SENSORPOT6 (optimized for working with the cooking sensor).

Cooking with
the pressure cooker
To fry, use the proper oil or shortening, for example, vegetable shortening. Add the
shortening in small pieces. Make sure to add enough shortening to the pan. Fillit at
least two fingers worth.
Mixes are not recommended, for example, oil with shortening or different types of
shortening. Hot oil or shortening may foam.

• indicator turns off, this means that the oil or the shortening ishot. Now you can
fry your food, (remove the lid while frying).
2. Add the first piece and fry.
3. Remove that piece and fry the next one.
Fry frozen products in small portions. If you do not, the oil or shortening will cool off
too quickly. Example: Frozen french fries: 1-2 qt. (1,5 I.)of oil or shortening per
portion of approximately 0.5 lb. (150 g.) of french fries.
Add liquid according the manufacturer's instructions.
