Pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable
for use with an induction hob.
There are several types:
-cast iron, enameled steel, and
stainless steel pans specifically for
use with induction hobs.
We do not recommend the use of
diffuser plates or materials such as
fine steel, aluminum, glass, copper,
or clay.
Each cooking zone has a minimum
pan detection time. This depends on
the material and the ferromagnetic
diameter of the base of the pan.
Therefore it is essential to use the
cooking zone that best matches the
diameter of the base of the pan to
be used.
If the pan is not detected on the
selected cooking zone, try using the
next smallest zone.
When the Flex Zone is used as a
single cooking zone, larger pans
suitable for this type of zone can be
used (see fig. 3).
Fig. 3
Some pans without a complete
ferromagnetic base are sold as
suitable for induction (see fig.4). In
these pans, only the ferromagnetic
base is heated. Consequently the
heat is not evenly distributed across
the base of the pan. This may mean
that the non-ferromagnetic part of the
base of the pan does not reach the
right cooking temperature.
Fig. 4
Other pans, with aluminum inserts
in the base have a smaller area of
ferromagnetic material (see fig.5).
In this case, it may be difficult or
even impossible to detect the pan. In
addition, the power supplied may be
lower and, consequently, the pan will
not heat up correctly.

Influence of the base of the pans
The type of base used on the pan
may affect the uniformity and results
of the cooking. Pans with a stainless
steel "sandwich" base use materials
that assist the uniform distribution
and diffusion of the heat, resulting in
savings in time and energy
The base of the pan must be
completely flat, thus ensuring a
uniform power supply (see fig.6).
Fig. 6
Never heat empty pans, or use
pans with a thin base, as these may
heat up quickly without allowing time
for the automatic disconnection
function of the cooker to come into
operation.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Use vessels with the same base
diameter as that of the cooking zone.
In the cooking zones closest to
the control panel, always keep the
vessels within the cooking marks
indicated on the glass surface and
use vessels of the same or smaller
diameter to these. This will help to
prevent overheating in the control
zone.
Use the rear cooking zones for
intensive use of the appliance. This
will help to prevent overheating of the
control panel.
Do not allow the vessels to invade
the control panel zone, especially
during cooking.
