Preparation before use
>When the power is switched on, the buzzer will sound once and all the
indicators will switch on for one second and then switch off. Place the
pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

are confirmed by an audible bleep.
Operation
13
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical
cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating
heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass
surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually
warms it up.

>Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
>Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no
object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of
water may make the controls difficult to operate.
A Word on Induction Cooking
> Read this guide, taking special note of the 'Safety Warnings' section.
> Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.

Choosing the right 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, aluminum 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 against the
glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose
diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a
slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use
smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Pot less than 140
mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the
cooking zone.
