A Word on Induction Cooking
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.
Before using your New Induction Hob
•Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
Using the Touch Controls
•The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
•Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
•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.

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. Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
3. 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 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.
Always lift pans off the Induction hob –do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
EN-10

Pan Dimension
The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the
pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according
to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob,
please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

to the other one within the flexible area keeping the same power level of the zone
where the cookware originally was placed, and the part that is not covered by
cookware is automatically switched off.
•Important：Make sure to place the cookwares centered on the single cooking
zone. In case of big pot,oval,rectangular and elongated pans make sure to place
the pans centered on the cooking zone covering both cross.
