6. The induction cooktop makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting.
This is caused by the technology of induction cooking: This is normal, the noise should quieten
down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting.
7. Fan noise coming from the induction cooktop.
A cooling fan built into your induction cooktop has come on to prevent the electronics from
overheating. It may continue to run even after you've turned the induction cooktop off: This is
normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power to the induction cooktop off at the wall
while the fan is running.
8. Pans do not become hot and " " appears in the display.
The induction cooktop cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking. The
induction cooktop cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not
properly centred on it: Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section "Choosing the
Right Cookware". Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking
zone.
9. The induction cooktop or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds
and an error code is displayed (typically alternating with one or two digits in the cooking timer
display).
Technical fault: Please note down the error letters and numbers, switch the power to the
induction cooktop off at the wall, and contact a qualified technician.
Selecting types of cookware.
• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards
the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If "
" does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper
without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic and earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat on the glass and is the same size as the cooking
zone. Using a pot that is slightly wider means energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a
smaller pot, efficiency could be less than expected. Pots with a diameter of less than 140 mm could be
undetected by the cooktop if placed on the larger cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking
zone.
Always lift pans off the induction cooktop – do not slide as they may scratch the glass.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Right!
Use flat-bottomed woks on the
glass cooktop.
