SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
Scrapping the product
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product.
Energy saving tips
For optimum results, it is advisable to:
-Use pots and pans with bottom width equal to that of the cooking zone.
-Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
-When possible, keep pot lids on during cooking.
-Use a pressure cooker to save even more energy and time.
-Place the pot in the middle of the cooking zone marked on the hob.
BEFORE USE
IMPORTANT: The cooking zones will not switch on if pots are not the right size. Only use pots
bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM”. Place the pot on the required cooking zone before
switching the hob on.
COOKWAVE
-Use thick cookware with flat and smooth bottom. Cookware with same diameter as the
cooking zone will help reduce cooling times.
-Cookware made of enameled steel or aluminum or copper bottoms can cause a metallic
residue on the glass. Clean the hob after every use.
-Use a magnet to check if the pot is suitable for the induction hob: pots and pans are
unsuitable if not magnetically detectable.
-Cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone in order to work property.
-When using certain pans, you may get various noises from the pans, this is due to the
design of the pans and does not affect the performance or safety of the hob.

-The minimum cookware diameter that elements can detect are Q110mm for 160mm -
210mm hobs and Q160mm for 290mm hob. Cooking performance improves with the
