General Use
zDo not leave the heating elements turned on with empty pots and pans
or with no pans.
zNever heat a tin or can containing foods without opening it first: it might explode!
zThe extracted air must not be conveyed through the same ducts used to extract the
fumes generated by gas combustion or other types of combustion devices. Never use
the device without the grille properly installed!
zWhen the device is used together with other devices powered with non-electrical
energy, the negative pressure of the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10•5 bar).
zThere shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the
same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the room).
zFor Australia and New Zealand: Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may
adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including
those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can
potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or
other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by
a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.
zNever leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
zNever use your appliance as a work or storage surface.
zWear proper apparel — Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
zDo not leave any magnetic item, e.g. cutlery, roast dish, etc. on your cooktop, including
the cooking zones and user interface.
zDo not place or leave any magnetisable objects (eg credit cards, memory cards) or
electronic devices (eg computers, MP3 players) near the appliance, as they may be
affected by its electromagnetic field.
zWe recommend using plastic or wooden kitchen utensils for cooking with your
induction cooktop.
zStorage in or on appliance — Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
near surface units.
zDo not place or leave aluminum foil on the cooktop.
zNever use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

COOKWARE
Quickest heating Performance
High content of ferromagnetic material. Heating area is
consistent across the base and up the sides of pan.
Average heating Performance
Reduced area of ferromagnetic material. Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor performance and slower heating.
Slow heating Performance
Very limited area of ferromagnetic material. Results in very
slow heating performance.
Note: This type of pot is good for very delicate tasks such
as melting chocolate, as heating is very slow.
The quality of your cookware can affect cooking performance. Only use
induction-compatible cookware that has been specifically designed for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan.
Ensure the base of your cookware is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is similar in size
as the cooking zone. A small pot on a large cooking zone may not be detected. Always
centre your pan on the cooking zone and lift pans off the cooktop – do not slide, or they
may scratch the glass.
Suitable cookware material:
zstainless steel –
with a magnetic base or core
zaluminium and copper –
with a magnetic base or core
zcast iron
zsteel
zenamelled steel.
Unsuitable cookware material:
zaluminium or copper –
without a magnetic base
zglass
zwood
zporcelain
zceramic or earthenware.
To check if cookware material is suitable for induction use, carry out a magnet test:
Move a magnet across the base of the pan. If the magnet is attracted, the pan is induction
suitable. Ensure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan. If there are gaps, such
as an indented manufacturer’s logo, then the performance will be impaired.
If you do not have a magnet, fill the pan with some water and refer to section 'Using your
induction zones'. If does not flash and the water is heating, pan is suitable.
