Description EN Advantages of induction cooking The hob is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone. Each generator located under the glass ceramic cooking surface creates an electromagnetic field which induces a thermal current in the base of the pan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.
Use 3 Use 3.1 Instructions High temperature Danger of burns • Protect your hands by wearing heatproof gloves during use. • Do not touch or clean the hob surface during operation or when the residual heat indicator lights are still on. • Do not put empty pans or frying pans on switched on cooking zones. • Keep children under the age of 8 away from the appliance when it is in use. • Activate the controls lock when you have children or pets which could reach the hob.
3.2 Preliminary operations 3.4 Using the hob In order to remove any moisture that could have accumulated during the manufacturing process and for the electronic circuits and control keypad to work properly: 1. Remove the protective films from the external surfaces of the appliance and accessories. 2. Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate). 3. Place a pan full of water on each of the front cooking zones and switch them on to the maximum power setting for at least 30 minutes. 4.
Use Unsuitable cookware: • Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware. To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone. • If possible, always cover pans with a suitable lid. • Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy. Under certain circumstances, if the hob and the oven are used at the same time, the maximum power limit of the electrical system might be exceeded.
Use Power levels The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. The table shows the levels suitable for various types of cooking.
