Practical advice on using the appliance
GB
! Use cookware made from materials which are
compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic
material). We especially recommend pans made
from: cast iron, coated steel or special stainless
steel adapted for induction. Use a magnet to test the
compatibility of the cookware.
SUITABLE
*
Cast iron
Enamelled steel
Special stainless steel
! Do not use adapters, diffusers, or metal plates on the
cooking zones .They may have a detrimental effect
upon the hob's performance, and might damage the
hob's aesthetics.
In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the
cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the
available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean
and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both
the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used
on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners
may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere
correctly.

Safety devices

Pan sensor
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device.
The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable
measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it. If the
power level indicator display flashes, this may be because:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

UNSUITABLE
Copper,
Aluminium, Glass, Earthenware,
Ceramic, non magnetic Stainless steel
Overheating protection
If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off
F
automatically and appears on the display, followed by
a flashing number. When the temperature has reached
a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob
may be used again.
Safety switch
The appliance has a safety switch which automatically
switches the cooking zones off after they have been in
operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power
level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the
display shows "0".
For example: the rear right-hand hotplate is set to 5
and will switch off after 7 and a half hours of continuous
operation, while the front left-hand hotplate is set to 2
and will switch off after 9 and a half hours.

Buzzer
This can also indicate several irregularities:
• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the
control panel for more than 10 seconds.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the above
situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the
cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. If the cause
of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep
sounding and the hob will switch off.
