2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE

We have designed this cooking hob for use by private individuals in their homes.
These cooking hobs are intended exclusively for cooking beverages and foodstuffs and do not
contain any asbestos-based materials.

• The induction principle

The principle of induction is based on a mag-
netic effect.
When you place your cookware on a cooking
zone and you turn it on, the electronic circuits
in your cooking hob produce "induced" cur-
rents in the bottom of the cookware which
instantly raise its temperature. This heat is
then transmitted to the food
To help you choose, a list of cookware is pro-
vided with this guide.
• Cookware
Most cookware is compatible with induction.
To verify that your cookware is suitable, place
it on a heating area on power 4.
- If the display remains on, your cookware is
compatible.
- If the display flashes, your cookware cannot
be used with induction cooking.
You can also use a magnet to test the cook-
ware.
If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the cook-
ware, it is compatible with induction.
Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a
special finish on the bottom, copper and some
non-magnetic stainless steels do not work
with induction cooking. We recommend that
you select cookware with a thick, flat bottom.
When you buy your cookware, make sure that
this logo is on the package; it assures you that
it is compatible with induction cooking.
