USE
loose from the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high level when the pan is (too) dry;
the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or to the use of too
high a power level.
• Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with
the operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot.
This may lead to the glass surface cracking and the pan base melting. Damage arising
from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
• The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least 12 cm (11 cm for the ø 16 cm cooking
zone). You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone. If a
pan is too small, the zone will not work.
• The length of a fish-pan (oval pan), used on the Bridge zones, must be at least 20 cm.
Pressure cookers
• Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The cooking zone reacts very
quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking
zone off, the cooking process stops immediately.
