Induction cooking system
When your induction hob is switched on and a cooking zone has
been selected, the electronic circuits produce induced currents that
instantaneously heat the bottom of the pan which then transfers this heat
to the food. Cooking takes place with hardly any energy loss between the
induction hob and the food.
Your induction hob operates only if a correct pan with the right features is
placed on a cooking zone. Please refer to "COOKWARE/COFFEE POT FOR
INDUCTION COOKING".
Cookware/coffee pot for induction cooking
The induction cooking system OPERATES ONLY if using correct cookware
suitable for induction cooking (normally identified by an induction symbol
on the bottom of the cookware/ coffee pot). The use of not suitable
cookware may cause damage to the appliance.
The bottom of the pan/coffee pot has to be ferromagnetic to generate
the electromagnetic field necessary for the heating process (meaning
a magnet has to stick to the bottom of the pan/coffee pot).
Pans/coffee pots made from the following materials are not suitable:
* glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware;
* pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom.
To check if a pan/coffee pot is suitable or not:
* Test the bottom of the pan/coffee pot with a magnet: if the magnet sticks,
the pan is suitable.
* If a magnet is not available pour a small amount of water inside the pan/
coffee pot and place the pan on a cooking zone. Switch on the cooking
zone: if the cooking zone display shows alternately the set power level and
" ", the pan/coffee pot is not suitable (then after 1 minute, the zone will be
switched off automatically and " " - appears on the display - set the knob
to "0").
Important
Do not use pots/coffee pot adaptors; this could cause an overheating
and possible damage to the appliance.
