Overview
The following table presents the most common damage
caused:
Protecting the environment
Unpack the appliance and dispose of its packaging in such a
way that no damage is caused to the environment.
Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste
products
Energy-saving advice
■Always place the correct lid on cookware. Cooking with an
uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy
use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to
lift the lid.
■Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan
bases increase energy consumption.
■The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the
hotplate. If not, energy may be wasted. Note: The
manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter.
This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base.
■Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you
are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a
lot of energy.
■Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves
energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.
■Select a lower power level.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Food spillage Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch
the glass ceramic Check pans.
Fading Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically produced for glass-ceramic hobs.
Contact with pans Lift pots and pans before moving them around.
Chips Sugar, substances with a high sugar
content Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.

Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from the
traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in
the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:
■Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated
directly.
■Energy is saved.
■Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not
burn as quickly.
■Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power
immediately when the control knob is turned on. The
induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed
without having previously switched it off.
Suitable pans
Ferromagnetic pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking,
these may be made from:
■enamelled steel
■cast iron
■special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a
magnet will stick to it.
Other suitable cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware especially made for
induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
Unsuitable pans
Never use pans made from:
■common thin steel
■glass
■earthenware
■copper
■aluminium
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of
the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help
diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute
heat uniformly, saving time and energy.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of
unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level
displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable
pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than
90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The
hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an
empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch
off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach
very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and
damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the
pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which
varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You
should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the
diameter of your pan.
When using large cookware on a
smaller ferromagnetic zone, only
the ferromagnetic zone heats up,
so heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Cookware with aluminium on the
base reduce the ferromagnetic
zone, so less heat may be sup-
plied or be difficult to detect.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's ferro-
magnetic area should match the
size of the hotplate. If cookware
is not detected on a hotplate, try
it on the next smaller hotplate
down.
