2.3Working Principle
Right ceramic zone:
Ceramic cooking directly employs resistance wire heating, and adjust the output power by the power
regulation with the touch controls.
Left induction zone:
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.
2.4Before using your New Hob
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
Remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic hob.

3. Operation of Product
3.1 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)
iron pot
magnetic circuit
ceramic glass plate
induction coil
induced currents
EN-9

covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
3.2 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, 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. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the ceramic hob –do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
