Practical advice on using the appliance
 Use cookware made from materials which are
compatible with the induction principle
(ferromagnetic material). We especially recommend
pans made from: cast iron, coated steel or special
stainless steel adapted for induction. Use a magnet
to test the compatibility of the cookware.
SUITABLE
*
Cast iron
Enamelled steel
Special stainless steel
Ceramic, non magnetic Stainless steel
In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully
utilise the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is
always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and
extend the life of both the cooking zones and the
cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been
used on gas burners: the heat concentration on
gas burners may distort the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere correctly.
Safety devices
Pan sensor
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor
device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan
with suitable measurements for the cooking zone is
placed on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may
indicate:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
UNSUITABLE
Copper,
Aluminium, Glass, Earthenware,
Residual heat indicators
Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat
indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones
are still at a high temperature. If the power display
shows , the cooking zone is still hot. It is
possible, for example, to keep a dish warm or melt
butter or chocolate. As the cooking zone cools, the
power display will show
when the cooking zone has cooled sufficiently.
Overheating protection
If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches
.
off automatically and appears on the display,
followed by a flashing number. When the
temperature has reached a suitable level, this
message disappears and the hob may be used
again.
Safety switch
The appliance has a safety switch which
automatically switches the cooking zones off after
they have been in operation for a certain amount of
time at a particular power level. When the safety
switch has been triggered, the display shows “0”.
.or example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and
will switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation,
while the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch
off after 8 hours.
