6.5.1 One-touch lighting
Manufacturers generally state whether or not their cookware is suitable for
induction cooking. The adjacent pictogram indicates the kind of symbol used to
denote suitability for induction cooking, usually found on the bottom of the pan.
Only use pans with perfectly flat, smooth bases suitable for induction cooking.
The cookware used for induction cooking must be made of ferrous alloys or
ferritic steel, be magnetisable and have a sufficiently thick base.
To check whether the pan is suitable, simply hold a magnet at its base: if it is
attracted the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet,
pour a little water into the pan, rest it on a cooking zone and turn on the hob.
Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking
zone. This noise doesn't mean any failure on the appliance and doesn't
influence the cooking operating.

* Enamelled ferritic steel cookware

* Ferrous cast iron cookware with

aluminium cookware with special
