WARNING: Read the instructions before using the appliance
When the power is switched on at the consumer unit, the hob will beep once and is ready for use.
01 Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced and efficient cooking technology. It works by generating
electromagnetic radiation in a suitable pan that then cooks the food. There is no direct heat from the glass,
though the surface will get hot due to convection heating from the pan itself; this is perfectly normal.
My new induction hob makes a lot of different noises. Does this mean that it is faulty?
Crackling sounds. These noises can normally be attributed to the pans and the different materials
•
used in their construction. The pan base will be a composition of different materials which will expand at
different rates as the pan heats.
•
Clicking noises. These are normally created by the electronic components within the appliance as they
switch on and off.
•
Whistling noises. These can be caused when one or more cooking zones are in operation at a high
power level and as a result of the cookware being constructed of different materials.
Humming noises. These noises can be created when a high power level is selected i.e. boost function.
•
Noises related to high power levels will reduce as the pans heat to temperature and the power level is
reduced.
•
Hissing/humming noises. These noises can be normally heard when the hob's cooling fan is in
operation.
All of the noises listed above are quite normal and do not indicate a fault. Contact Customer Services shown
in the Care & maintenance section below if you need further guidance.
02 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.
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. You will get
maximum efficiency by matching the pan size to the cooking zone and ensuring it is central. Small pans less
than 14cm may not be detected.
